U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Will Issue More Detailed Reports of Birds Captured and Collected During Deepwater Horizon Response

WASHINGTON -- The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will begin providing more detailed reports of the birds rescued and collected during the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, providing a species-by-species breakdown and maps of where the birds were collected, Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Tom Strickland announced today.

The new reports will be based on a rigorous review by a team of Service biologists of preliminary data released as part of the daily Consolidated Wildlife Table.
