reflects bp s yellow and green sun logo. louisiana s marshlands are ground zero in this spill. millions of birds migrate there each summer and fall. chris lawrence is in grand isle where it s more like a hospital emergency room than wild life preserve. reporter: great description, fredericka. what is new today, for the first time we were allowed into these triage areas. what happens, these rescue crews get out there on the water. they try to corral as many of the oil birds as they can. that s not an easy job. these are wild animals. they don t always want to be caught. the ones they are able to capture they bring into these triage areas. there some of the workers are able to start to wipe some of the oil off. it s a stressful process, injecting fluids into the bird to help them start to recover. when they are coated in that oil it can be hard for them to regulate their body temperature.
