BP day is coming

Only eight shopping days remain. How will you celebrate? Maybe some bird watching.

To visit a part of southeast Louisiana that teemed with tens of thousands of nesting brown pelicans just four years ago is to tour a wildlife ghost town. The few remaining patches of sand are naked except for the dead mangroves, their twisted branches rising into the air like arms desperately waving for help.

Hahn would like to provide that help. Shortly after the spill he developed a $5 million plan to keep pelicans in this part of the state. He’s $1.5 million short.

Should ask Tom Benson.  He seems to specialize in wounded Pelicans.
