Thank you so much for "Doing what is right" as Dr. Erica said on Nightline. The entire nation is watching and praying for ALL involved in this rescue and rehabilitation of the birds (and all other wildlife rescuers). This disaster has GOT to be a wake up call to us all, that we need a better way of doing things. In the mean time- Thank you all again, for coming to the rescue...You are all my HEROES!
