Wildlife Soaked in Oil

http://store.mysticalsanfranciscophotography.com/c/fredericlarson

Surfer Meghan McNertney watched from shore as the oil-soaked sea duck flapped wildly in the waves that pounded Rodeo Beach on the Marin Headlands. The exhausted bird, known as a surf scoter, struggled onto the sand and flopped down, only to be swept underwater by the onrushing surf. The same disturbing scene played out at various beaches around the bay on Thursday.
McNertney, a 23-year-old Larkspur resident, had been planning a day of surfing, but instead was witness to the tragic consequences of the worst Bay Area oil spill in more than a decade.
She did more than watch, though. She dashed onto the beach, past National Park Service rangers and a barrier they had set up, slopped through the oil, and cradled the bird in her arms.
"You could see the oil in the water," McNertney said later. "This little duck bird was just stranded in the sand. The tide would come in and hit him, and he'd try to scramble. It was terrible. I felt I had to bring him in."

Nature has provided us the most effective toxic oil absorbant! Tie pelicans together and drag them around the gulf.

@14LOVETOPLAY Did you say you'd help me find some niggers? Great! That's the same thing the early African nigger tribal chiefs did, they rounded up niggers and sold them to the Jews who sold them to us and now mine have run away and I've got 400 acres of cotton that needs picking!

Please let me know when you find my niggers. They are very dark, have large thick lips, flat noses, kinky hair, and smell real bad... ya can't miss 'em.

Please help! Several of my niggers have run away and are hiding on the oil stained beaches and I'm having difficulty finding them.

If you see some niggers hiding out on the beach, please contact me immediately as I have to get the cotton crop in.

Thank you.
