Oil-covered pelicans cleaned

A volunteer holds a brown pelican as another volunteer puts a tag on the bird during a cleaning process at the Fort Jackson International Bird Rescue Research Center in Buras, Louisiana June 20, 2010. Each bird has its own file, and before starting the cleaning process the bird number is recorded. Members of the Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research team work to clean birds covered in oil from the Deepwater Horizon wellhead. The BP leased Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded on April 20 and sank after burning. Picture taken June 20, 2010.[Photo/Agencies]
