Oregon and Washington wildlife rescue centers are overwhelmed with epidemic numbers of wet, cold, and dying sea birds soiled by unusual sea slime.  The International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) is taking in most of the migratory seabirds affected and it looks like it will cost them at least $50,000 to rehabilitate these birds.  We can helpClick here to donate to this worthy organization.  Give whatever you can.  Every penny helps.
