Compassion and Caution Collide Amid Battle to Save a Generation of Birds

Baton Rouge, LA–(ENEWSPF)–June 17, 2010 – “It’s heartbreaking,” said Louisiana Audubon bird expert Melanie Driscoll, after accompanying state rescuers as they reluctantly left individual oiled birds behind in coastal island breeding colonies, for fear of driving healthy ones into the toxic brew. “They’re making incredibly difficult decisions in order to save the greatest number of birds. I can’t second guess any of the tough choices they made today.”
