In todays news:
"COVINGTON, La. (AP) — The dire impact of the massive Gulf spill was apparent Sunday on oil-soaked islands where pelicans nest as several of the birds splashed in the water and preened themselves, apparently trying to clean crude from their feet and wings.
Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-colored gunk in the bird colony, with thick globs floating on top of the water."
This thing continues to gush thousands of gallons of oil into the gulf every day. What a tragedy!
