    Two juvenile Pigeon Guillemots take their first steps back into the wild after being released at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025. Considered a common seabird species, Pigeon Guillemots are important indicators of ocean health and play a key role in the coastal ecosystem. The Department of the Air Force has been monitoring special status plant and wildlife species at Vandenberg for several decades with launch-specific monitoring occurring since the early 1980’s. Vandenberg has a dedicated environmental team of more than 40 personnel continuing that monitoring process and surveying natural resource resilience.
