US-BLAST-OIL-ENERGY
This NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua satellite image Captured May 4, 2010 shows a close up view of a massive oil slick (right in the Gulf of Mexico as it continued spreading moving perilously close to shore, near Louisiana. The massive oil spill bearing down on Louisiana's fragile coast wetlands comes at the worst time for untold numbers of nesting birds and spawning fish whose young are most vulnerable to the toxic sludge. Nearly all migratory birds in the Western Hemisphere stop over in the marshes surrounding the mouth of the Mississippi river and tens of thousands are currently guarding eggs laid along the shores.
