Oil Spill Update: 1,000 birds affected
Here’s the latest on the bird clean-up at TriState Bird Rescue. According to this article, a pair of nesting bald eagles are affected by the spill. Many don’t realize that we have bald eagles in this area of the country. I didn’t realize it when I moved here awhile back until I worked at an office near a nesting site. There’s nothing like seeing America’s symbol just outside of your cubicle with a large fish in its talons.
I just kicked in $25 to help TriState Bird Rescue with the clean-up. Here’s the link to help out.
Remember:
Liberals may talk about saving the environment, conservatives actually do so.

“Liberals may talk about saving the environment, conservatives actually do so.”
A lame cheap shot, and factually untrue.
It’s great that you want to help out with the wildlife, I’m sure your donation will be much appreciated and will be quite helpful. Good for you.
No doubt, folks from both sides of the aisle will be doing just as much.
Nice try.
Thanks -

Yes it was a cheap shot - and a generalization that is no doubt untrue. After all, the terms Liberal and Conservative really have lost their meaning considering many on the Left back reactionary forces (like radical Islam - see Horowitz’s book advertised on the left side of the blog for more on that).
I subscribed recently to the New Scientist (boy was that a mistake. I thought I was going to get science news, and am instead getting an earful of Euroweenie vitriol in articles debating the merit of the ban on collaborating with Israeli scientists - but I digress). The current issue has an article about the trouble down in the Galapagos Islands between the locals who fish and the park, which doesn’t want them to.
The article went on and on about how important the sea cucumber was for the ecosystem - but never mentioned how the locals were supposed to feed their families!
I have been active in conservation since I spent a year in Tanzania supposedly chasing chimps, but actually finding work for the locals and treating their diseases and injuries. I’ve seen the needs of people completely ignored or forgotten when discussing wildlife - and I associate this more with the Left than the Right.
My bad.

Scott, you’re a good guy.
Regarding this:
“I’ve seen the needs of people completely ignored or forgotten when discussing wildlife - and I associate this more with the Left than the Right”
I believe you have a point.
Respect -
