Today we hear Part 2 of my interview with Ginger Nealon, wildlife rehabilitation coordinator for the Wildlife Center of the North Coast, based in Olney, Oregon. They’ve been helping oil-soaked birds that were injured in a recent oil spill. Today we’ll talk about how successful such efforts are, what you can do if you find an oil soaked bird, and how to contact and support the Center, which is a non-profit that is always in need of donations, and volunteers.
A reminder that the hotline to report an oil soaked bird in Oregon or Washington is 1-800-22BIRDS. If you’d like to reach the wildlife center of the north coast, they’re wildlife rescue hotline number is 503-338-0331.

While most ships anchored off Astoria in the river are waiting to load cargo, it can be a blessing for a ship with mechanical problems, as happened recently. A ship in need of repairs can wait there until a fix is complete, wait for ordered parts, or be in easy access for expert help. Far from the turbulence of the open ocean. Astoria as a harbor offers a great deal to passing ships, as a port, a place with fuel and supplies and occasionally as a much needed refuge.
