I start with a group of gulls out in the water doing what they do. Alive and seemingly healthy. And I move to a lonely abandoned childs flipper washed up on the beach and then the devastation hits. A dead absolutely beautiful male longtail duck. Lying there motionless. It's beautiful life taken from it on it's migratory journey south. Then I spot a gull flying with something stuck in it's foot. What on earth. I look around. I stand there. I am silent.

a friend who follows your blog posted a link to this on my facebook page yesterday morning because we had been discussing this horrific situation.
I was scared to read it, and didn't til this morning, and even though I went through a lot of Kleenex, I'm glad I did read it.
The Grebe you wrote of was seen on the news casts, and was very difficult to watch, but in some small way your Blog gave me a bit of comfort, knowing that there are others out there who care as much about our environment and the species who live in it, and I thank you for that.
