Today’s post is written by Monte Merrick, wildlife rehabilitator and co-director of the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/bird ally x in Arcata, CA. I happened to work at that facility, for International Bird Rescue at the Los Angeles Oiled Bird Care and Education Center , part of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network.

I think a lot of people know that climate change is not a positive thing, but do they know whats in it for wildlife? The EPA speculates that there will be a global sea level rise of 2 feet from the current sea level by the year 2100, which will have huge impacts on our coastlines for both people and wildlife. Whats in it for birds?

In January 1971, two oil tankers collided under the Golden Gate Bridge, spilling more than 800,000 gallons of crude oil into the San Francisco Bay. This 12,000 square-foot facility, completed in February 2001, is one of the two primary oiled bird facilities built by the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) in California.
