Another of our Brown Pelican friend. These beautiful birds were nearly extinct in Louisiana a few years ago. Just as they were beginning to return to Louisiana in large numbers and thrive the BP oil spill accident occurred . This took a grave toll on their return. Covered in oil they were rescued and taken to rehabilitation centers in Louisiana and Mississippi . There is still great concern that this tragedy could put an end to the great recovery that was underway in Louisiana. They haven't given up hope and are continuing to work very hard for the survival of their state bird The Brown Pelican .
