MIAMI - Amanda Dolinski, a staff member at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami, checks over one of the 45 baby pelicans that were transported to Pelican Harbor Saturday, while Kristin Castellon, the rehabilitation manager, completes the process paperwork. The pelicans, ranging in age from 5-to-10 weeks old, arrived Saturday, July 11, 2010, via a Coast Guard aircraft from New Orleans, and had been impacted in the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill and previously cared for at Fort Jackson Bird Rehabilitation Center in Buras, La. The chicks will remain at Pelican Harbor until they can fly and be released into the wild. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Krystyna Hannum
