California Condor named 2011 Bird of the Year by Audubon California.
A seabird can be defined as a bird that makes its living primarily from the ocean, beyond the intertidal or surf zone.
Audubon California is taking advantage of a number of opportunities in the area of seabird conservation.
A special combination of currents, winds, and undersea topography make the U.S., Mexican and Canadian West Coast one of the world’s most productive and diverse marine ecosystems.
Thirty-eight species of seabirds are regular breeders in the region’s islands, islets, rocky shores, beaches, and old-growth forest.
Audubon California is taking part in a statewide effort to establish protected marine habitats.
