How To Help The Birds Affected By The Galveston Bay Oil Spill

1. Read about the ten bird species considered to be most vulnerable according to Audubon, and about the efforts that will be required to rescue and rehabilitate any birds that survive exposure to the spill.

2. Make a donation here. No amount is too small. It takes a lot of feet on the ground, hands on work of hundreds of volunteers to help wildlife during a catastrophe. The labor may be mostly free thanks to volunteers, but supplies, transportation and equipment are not. Skip your Starbucks today and give that five dollars to the rescue efforts.

This spill has occurred during peak bird migration and the area affected by the spill is an important region along the migratory flyway for multiple bird species.
