And you see part of the Salton Sea here with this small island and vastness behind it. Last year more than 1.400 of these birds perished in the waters and on the mud flats of the sea. For refugee worker Orozco. it was the first time in his 26year career at the Salton Sea that he had seen a dieoff of brown pelicans. However. the deaths are continuing. and the prospects are not good. "It is not a pretty sight." notes refuge manager Clark Bloom who has observed grown persons breaking down and crying when they witnessed the sick and dying birds. My big concern here is that not enough is being done.
