All: I just saw another dead pelican at Union Reservoir in the last two weeks. When I reported the first one about 10 days ago, the ranger mentioned they had helped animal control capture a sick one that later died-so a total of three in last two weeks or so. I don’ think I’ve seen three deceased pelicans in the last 20 years at Union, let alone in three weeks.
So, at what point do you all consider X number of dead birds within Y timeframe to be unusual, concerning or three alarm fire? I let the rangers know, is it time to place a call to CPW? Would ask everyone who frequents Union to keep a watch and to report any mortality to the staff/rangers there. The two I have seen were on the north shore and a little south of the NW corner.
