NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Two young Brown Pelicans were released at Crystal Cove State Beach June 22 after being treated for injuries believed to have been inflicted by people.

The birds were previously under the care of wildlife specialists at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center of Orange County in Huntington Beach. They were among dozens of pelicans discovered along the coast with serious injuries, including compound fractures to their wing bones.
