Pablo García Borboroglu, president of the Global Penguin Society and an ecologist for the National Research Council of Argentina, says although the recent weather-related deaths are a growing factor in chick death, they're still not the biggest concern.

At Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge (MLNWR) in Montana, the chick death rate from mid-July until fledging, a time when pelican chicks are less vulnerable to severe weather and predation, typically averages <4%.

In 2006, carcasses were collected from July 25 through August 11 (n = 8) during a period of maximum chick deaths, and in 2007 from July 11 through August 1 (n = 24) after confirmation of WNV in mosquito pools.
