Texbirders,
Especially Galveston Island/County birders, is anyone out birding Galveston
east end and south jettty today? If so please be on the lookout for oiled
birds and report them and location to one or both of these numbers for
Galveston County Office of Emergency Management: 281-309-2000 and/or
888-384-2000. I had trouble with both numbers, each did not work, and each
worked at
a different times. GCOEM is working on fixing the issue.

Thank you for the first hand report Winnie! So glad you are on top of
this! Do you know if anyone is checking the western shore and or south jetty?

Oiled Sanderlings, Ruddy Turnstones, White Pelicans and scaup were found
at Bolivar Flats. We walked the whole beach and some of the North Jetty and
did not find any oil. Sanderlings and Turnstones feed on jetties so they
picked the oil up somewhere else. I have seen some oiled Laughing Gulls at
the end of the peninsula closest to the spill. There are many birds in the
area around the boats working on the spill so there will probably be more
oiled birds found. A team from the USFWS will be trying to capture and clean
the oiled birds.
