Audubon California Back when we were fighting the OC Toll Road, no single group turned out to be more powerful on our side than the surfers. Now here they are fighting down the city of Malibu on septic tanks. Clearly surfers are a powerful voice for the environment, and we need to partner with these folks more often ... like perhaps to defend Snowy Plovers.

instead of paying people to be unemployed (feds extended it to 90 weeks today!) why can't they pay them to work in the state and federal parks to keep them open? (among other jobs that are cut)

Audubon California We often talk about the dangers of wind turbines to birds, but we rarely see it. This video shows a wind turbine blade striking a vulture in Crete. Warning, the video is graphic and shows a bird dying.

Audubon California Dozens of oiled birds being found in the Bay. Why do these things always have to happen during migration, when there are so many birds in the Bay?

All those poor birds and other animals. This is such a horrible thing to have happen at any time let alone migration. This seems to be happening more and more and no one ever seems to be responsible. My heart goes out to all the of the people helping to clean up this mess!! Wish I could be there.

From my usually happy Sausalito deck, I can see the slick. Sickening. Audobon and Marine Mammal Center work so hard. I WISH we'd ban oil tankers from the bay. Why can't the oil ride around in planes and trucks?

Audubon California Still hard to gauge the severity of yesterday's oil spill, but estimates are now that maybe as much as 1,000 gallons went into the water. Quite a bit more than the one to five gallons originally reported. At this point, it's hard to imagine birds not being affected to some degree.

The severity of the second toxic fuel spill to hit San Francisco Bay in two years remained unknown Friday, but as a large plume of oil headed for shore, questions were being asked about the speed of the response.

rescue groups have a handle on cleaning the birds. the sad thing is that they've had enough practice to standardize what to do.
