As scientists warn that a prolonged marine heat wave, combined with a developing El Niño, could worsen seabird mortality along the California coast, we're already seeing the impacts firsthand. Since March, our team has cared for nearly 400 starving birds affected by changing ocean conditions. Our CEO, JD Bergeron, shares Bird Rescue’s insights in a new Associated Press story.
For 55 years, Bird Rescue has been there for birds in a changing world. As environmental challenges become more frequent and complex, our commitment to wildlife remains unchanged.

After five weeks in care, a rehabilitated California Least Tern took flight back to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, to the same nesting site where it was found. Watch them take flight in this video. As a federally endangered species, every individual saved is a meaningful step for conservation.
This July also marks five years since the 2021 Long Beach Harbor Seabird Crisis, when thousands of young Elegant Terns were displaced from nesting barges in the Port of Long Beach. That unprecedented response brought together diverse partners and community members to help save a generation of seabirds.
As Bird Rescue celebrates 55 years of responding to wildlife crises, this Least Tern's return is a fitting reminder of what can be accomplished through collaboration. Every rescue helps build a brighter future for birds in a changing world.
