California pelican comeback after DDT ban sparks cautious hope
San Diego scientist Carl Hubbs reports a slow revival of the California brown pelican, with hundreds seen and many young birds. Since DDT bans in 1972, Coronados Island colonies produced at least 1,200 fledglings last year, though shell thinning persists. In Louisiana, however, about 80 percent of brown pelicans were wiped out by Endrin and other pesticides, leaving around 100 birds of a prior restocked population.
