Vary: Nesting by this subspecies is restricted to islands within the Gulf of California and alongside the outer coast from Baja California to West Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands in Southern California. Non-breeding California brown pelicans vary northward alongside the Pacific Coast from the Gulf of California to Washington and southern British Columbia.

Regardless of the banning of DDT, some birds nonetheless present comparatively excessive ranges of pesticides of their tissues. Pelicans are depending on northern anchovies and Pacific sardines, which have declined resulting from over-fishing by people. Breeding populations and nesting productiveness differ dramatically from 12 months to 12 months relying on El Nino occasions and different climatic adjustments. Pelicans are additionally threatened by the opportunity of oil spills from tanker visitors within the Santa Barbara Channel, disturbance at post-breeding roosts on the central California coast, entanglement with hooks and fishing line, and illness outbreaks ensuing from overcrowding in harbors.
