Bird Island 3630'25"N, 12156'33"W 



Bird Island is the second largest Brandt's Cormorant colony in California, 

 after the Farallon Islands (429 012). It is also the most northern site for 

 nesting Brown Pelicans ever recorded, although no nesting pelicans have been 

 observed here since 1963 (Baldridge, 1973). If recovery of the Brown 

 Pelican continues, this site may be recolonizied. Bird Island offers excellent 

 viewing opportunities (see appendix B ).
