All the wildlife that is harmed. Those poor turtles, the pelicans, dolphins and endangered species. They never take in to account that travestiy there. And just how does one put a price on something that is absolutely priceless....

Yano Jon, we had a pair of sandhill cranes come to our bog the last two years. They gave birth to some babies. This year only one baby seemed to have survived. We are not sure becasue after they hatched they became pretty elusive. I beleive they will go south to the gulf in migration as will the Canadian geese and many many other birds that are up here for the spring, summer and fall months. What a travsty those birds will be heading for and the cranes, they are rare here.

We have so many precious things in the wild that we cannot seem to protect from manmade disasters what a shame. Some people have no clue what they are messing up and how it effects places hundereds or even thousands of miles away like my cranes.
I sadly expect to never see my lovely cranes again because of that oil spill.

The oil spill has adversley affected the precious bog here and they have done so by not touching my soil here, but by the birds and beasts that will migrate there in the future. It is irreprehensible, and unreplaceable. Those beasts will not return to complete a cycle of life here. Its horrible. Who knows how this will later effect the bog because of what THEY did??????

I am ashamed of our goverment, especially the presicent for not stepping up to the plate and getting going to clean the mess up quicker. The damage is done. It is finished for many ecosystems and they dont even recon to that. It is truly dispicable.

This photo, it was rare the day I took it.. it may be the last we shall see of the cranes here due to the disaster in the gulf. I am sooooo deeply saddened.
