How are the birds along the Gulf Coast fairing?

Our plovers winter along the Gulf Coast. As you are aware, this is where the worst oil spill ever has occurred. Barring any unforeseen problems our seven Grand Beach chicks will leave on their long journey south around mid-August. I thought you might want to know how the current birdlife along the Gulf Coast is fairing. This is the best blog I have found to date. It is administered by the American Birding Association.
