A Peruvian chef tosses a fish to a pelican at a pier in Chorrillos, Peru, Friday, May 18, 2012. A group of local chefs and restaurant owners gathered on the pier to feed pelicans in their efforts to save them from starvation. Scientists studying a mass die-off of thousands of pelicans on northern Peru's beaches say they think hotter than usual ocean temperatures have driven a type of anchovy deeper into the sea, beyond the reach of many young pelicans.
