Still hot and humid.<\/p>\n<p>We spent this day out in the helicopter  again, flying eastward into Alabama. This is where the reality finally  hit me. Flying over Mobile Bay between the land and Dauphin Island you  could see extensive oil slicks and sheen. Not so bad in itself until you  really looked and saw dolphins swimming in it, it looks so benign from  2000 feet up. That was a very sobering sight. But again the enormity of  what this region is facing was brought home to us. We landed for  refueling and decided to visit a local beach that had tar balls reported  on it. Sure enough there were extensive areas of tar balls and the  water was quite turbid. People were still using the beach but not  allowed to swim. The laughing gulls were everywhere and in a group of 20  I observed, three were obviously open mouth breathing, not a good sign,  and one, as it flew off seemed unsteady. I had observed one bird  drinking from a pool of water surrounded by tar balls. The flight back  to New Orleans took us along the coast and over Lake Pontchartrain. The  sun was going down and there was a haze to the day. We were in Huey  helicopter, and all I could think as the sun was reflected off Lake  Pontchartrain and our Safety Officers helmet was, my God, Apocalypse  Now! We had just seen tar balls over an extensive area of beach, most of  it still in the water sunk to the dips in the sand and some areas of  oiling on the shoreline itself.<\/p>\n<p>All so sad and very sobering.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"generic-picture-attributes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lenichoir.org\/Le_Nichoir\/Blog\/Entries\/2010\/6\/14_Day_Four_files\/shapeimage_2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slept in till 6am.
