FILE - In this Saturday, May 15, 2010 file photo, veterirnian Erica Miller, Heather Nevill, and Danene Birtell clean a brown pelican at the Fort Jackson Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at Buras, La. A stretch of land in the western portion of Calcasieu Lake known as Rabbit Island has been shrinking for decades, the tide washing away more than land each year. The marsh “island” in Cameron Parish is the only brown pelican rookery in southwest Louisiana. Once 200 acres of land, it is down to just 30 acres and continues to lose nearly half of the brown pelican eggs laid each year to the tide. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
