The Brown Pelican is the State Bird of Lousiana. It was listed at endnagered in 1970 due to DDT. Its food source is ocean fish.

Does anyone have any idea how long it took and how much it cost to return this bird from near extinction of 10,000 birds in 1970?

Guess what is going to happen to this bird again?  Only this time it won't be DDT.  It will be destroyed habitat and lack of food source.

They are going to be eating contaminated fish and dying of oil ingestion.  Isn't that great?  And it is WHOM'S fault?

The Brown Pelican was removed from the endangered list in November 2009.  I mean why bother.  Just going to put them right back on with a host of other species from the Gulf Coast.  I just can't wait to see that list grow longer and longer and longer so we all have new purpose to our lives.
