Rescued Pelicans Released from Brunswick, Georgia

Yesterday, 72 Louisiana Brown Pelicans were safely released from a dock in Brunswick, Georgia. The birds were rescued from the Gulf following the oil spill and flown to Brunswick via the Coast Guard. Over the past few weeks, the birds were cleaned of oil and cared for by local U.S. Fish and Wildlife personnel. Local resident, Roger Peterson, was on-hand to photograph this extraordinary event.
