<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><b>South Wellfleet, MA.</b>
–While the BP oil spill in the Gulf is thousands of miles away from the
Cape Cod shoreline, “our birds” are currently on migration and the
Gulf Coast is on the route for many of the species. Concerns over how the spill
will affect these migrants, as well as the effects it has had on resident
populations of birds and wildlife in the Gulf, prompted Massachusetts <b>wildlife
photographer Shawn Carey</b> to travel to Louisiana this summer in an effort to
<b>photo-document the largest oil spill in United States history—and</b> <b>to
raise awareness of the disaster’s impact on birds and wildlife</b>. Shawn
Carey will share his images and story on <b>Saturday, October 2 at 1:30 p.m. at
the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>During
his travels </span>Shawn chartered a boat into Barataria Bay where he
photographed and recorded video of two of the largest Brown Pelican colonies in
Louisiana, as well as the oil soaked shoreline on many of the small islands in
the bay and some of the clean-up efforts that were taking place. He also
chartered an airplane out of Houma, Louisiana over the marsh to Raccoon Island,
another of the large Brown Pelican colonies, and photo-documented some of the
problems facing that island and the birds which use it. In his presentation
Shawn also will share interviews with a park employee at Grand Isle State Park
and the devastation on a portion of beach that is out of view from the public
but had oil on it for over eight weeks and how this might impact many of the
shorebirds that are migrating south. Finally an interview with a man that owns
a local fish processing business that has laid off most of his workers and
having a hard time staying in business. <span style='color:black'>For
