This week I posted seven short videos from my trip to Louisiana where I documented the BP oil disaster.

Videos were edited by my coproducer and video editor Jim Grady and all graphics designed by Sabina Grady.
The first two videos are of Leanne Sarco who's title is Interpretive Rangerat Grand Isle State Park, Louisiana. Leanne took myself and few others to a section of beach on her day off to see all the oil that was still there some eight weeks later. Most if not all of the oil had sunk into the sand and was NOT visible. So if you were to look at this beach you would not think there was a problem with oil. Watch the video and see how much she digs up just from this one small area, it's SHOCKING!
The third video is an interview with local businessman Patrick Shay standing in front of his "mock cemetery".
The next four are all interviews with Drew Wheelan of the American Birding Association. Drew has been in Louisiana and the Gulf almost from the beginning of the BP oil disaster. Check out the ABA web site for all of his reports.

Remember many shorebirds are now migrating south and some will end up in Louisiana. For those that do they may find food resources which are now limited or contaminated. Either way these are not favorable conditions for any birds spending time in areas which have been impacted by the BP oil disaster.
