Day One

Driving up the coast east of Grand Isle - good news is they aren't finding many oiled birfd any more. I've seen a few brown pelicans, a lot of laughing gulls, ibises, an egret or two and a cormorant. There is water and wetlands everywhere. The weather is cool (84) and mostly cloudy. The seas are heavy - 4 - 5 foot swells but it is calm behind the barriers and bayous.
