Subject: [sbcobirding] Brandt's Cormorants on the mainland
Many of you are aware of this tragic situation with Brandt's Cormorants,
apparently caused by food shortage, driven by warm ocean temperatures to
our north.
I'd like to document this. If any of you have a photo of large numbers of
Brandt's Cormorants at mainland Goleta Point, or any other coastal
promontory, could you send one to me please?

Thank you,

Mark Holmgren
San Marcos Pass
