A dozen of the hundreds of brown pelicans found starving on the Southern California coast were released after rehabilitation at a wildlife center.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- A dozen of the hundreds of brown pelicans found starving on the Southern California coast were released Friday after rehabilitation at a wildlife center.

It's not known if the starvation event is over, but Wood said the intake of birds has declined dramatically over the last week or so.
