BP Oil Spill Pictures

MIAMI – A baby brown pelicans check out his new, temporary home at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami following a four-hour plane ride, 30-minute van ride and check-in process. The chick is part of a group of 45, ranging in age from 5-to-10 weeks old, that were transported to Pelican Harbor Saturday, July 10, 2010, via a Coast Guard aircraft from New Orleans. The chicks had been impacted in the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill and previously cared for at Fort Jackson Bird Rehabilitation Center in Buras, La., and will remain at Pelican Harbor until they can fly and be released into the wild.
