Those interested in "doing something" about the BP oil spill in the Gulf
should check out the Sierra Club <sierraclub.org>. As you will see attempts
are being made by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups to hold
both BP and MMS accountable for the disaster, as well as challenging the US
government to enforce the standards.

FOY firefly at home in Thetford last night, unknown species.



Hay, I know there is a very special bioolgist population amongst this
birders population. We are fortunate to have such talented expertise.

1.  Can anyone weigh in re what is and will happen biologically in the Gulf
?  Birds, fish, ecologically.    Short term, long term.

2.  Is there anything we "protected" northern New Englanders can do ?



Thanks

Bill Shepard
