(1) Wildlife rescue organizations from San Diego to San Francisco are being flooded by sickly, malnourished California brown pelicans.  Experts say probably lack of food and part of a natural “mortality event”.  They need about 5 pounds of fish per bird daily.  (quoted from article in San Diego Union Tribune 7/13/12).  Rene Tille

           (2) This is in response to the discussion about pelicans. This has been a problem for many years now. I've been seeing starving pelicans since I moved here in 2002. Sadly, the sardine population is just not what it used to be. Some pelican mortality is normal - they die due to the stress of migration and those juveniles who don't learn to fish well, have always succumbed to starvation. However, it is clear that the number of birds dying has been on the rise.
Here are some links related to the Brown Pelican starvation issue we are all observing:

 Baja Walk - On Their Way To La Paz - Rachel and John Pack are currently on 100 day, 2000 mile circumnavigation of the Baja California peninsula’s coastline from San Felipe on the northern Sea of Cortez to Rosarito Beach on the Pacific. The extreme 2000-mile walking challenge began May 12 in San Felipe, Baja California and will circumnavigate the Baja peninsula during the summer to finish on or before August 20, 2012 in Rosarito Beach. The event aims to raise attention and funds to assist various Baja charity groups, specifically those that provide support to children, animals and environmental causes. You can help these charities overcome their challenges by walking a mile in your community. Register to walk and your registration will go directly to the charity of your choosing.
     At the conclusion of the Baja Walk’s 100 Day Challenge, John and Rachel are scheduled to be master of ceremonies for the Baja Blues Fest at Rosarito Beach Hotel on August 25, 2012. Here is a link to John and Rachel's latest post from yesterday covering their journey from Cuidad Constitucion: http://bajagoodlife.com/2012/07/12/baja-walk-road-to-santa-rita/ - bajagoodlife.com/baja-100-day-challenge/, Baja California Sur

The Virgin of Carmen is also known as Nuestra Señora de Monte Carmelo ("Our Lady of Mount Carmel"). She is believed to be a protector of the Mexican nation and the Patron Saint of Fishermen. On the day of the fiesta, downtown Cabo San Lucas streets will be filled with craft vendors, puppeteers, and parades. The celebration also caters to sport fishing enthusiasts with an annual fishing competition, as well as a traditional bullfight at Toros Stadium. The festival is often simply known as the Fiesta del Carmen.
