A very sad and current reality ...probable demise of many innocent migrating birds. I can't imagine the amount of effort that goes into catching and washing the birds to save their lives, but I hope the effort is made by folks capable of doing such a thing. (I did not see the photo, if there was one for this contest, but the haiku is wonderful. Congratulations on 1st place.

There's no way to control this oil spill. On the Gulf Coast we can only sit and wait to devastate our beaches, Charles. Tourists are already staying away and our tourism-based economy is facing hard times. Great haiku for the contest! Love, Caroln
