Scientists say pelicans can be fearsome mascot ~Nikki Buskey, Daily Comet
~Above: Editilla cruisin'da scene, always on da'lookout fo'dem who would oppose us, Sinn Féin.
When the New Orleans Hornets announced they were changing their name to the Pelicans late last month, there was some collective grumbling about the supposedly less-than-fearsome choice. But pelicans, in addition to being a long-serving symbol of Louisiana, are more than meets the eye. When the New Orleans basketball team adopts its new logo for the 2013-14 season, it will be taking on the moniker of a fierce coastal hunting bird.

Yummy
article, but the opening line is erroneous. Half of New Orleans is at
or well above sea level including the historic neighborhoods of
Carrollton, River Bend, Audubon/University, Uptown, Garden District,
Irish Channel, French Quarter, Treme, and many many more.
Source It's often the things outside the point of an article that people pick up and notice. So it's important that misleading details are corrected immediately before they are repeated.

Jindal aide: Army Corps of Engineers is a 'complete disaster'
Dear Editilla,Louisiana's state bird was back in the news last week. The newest NBA team nickname is the New Orleans Pelicans!
The pelican had faded from the nation's attention, along with the BP oil disaster, after images in 2010 of the majestic bird drenched in oil became the icon of BP's carnage in the Gulf. Along with the birds, their oil-soaked mangrove nesting habitat on Louisiana's eroding barrier islands has been decimated as well. Pelicans need nesting sites far removed from predators to hatch and fledge their young.
Unfortunately, BP is dragging their feet in funding barrier island restoration projects. Cat Island in Plaquemines Parish is falling apart around these amazing animals. This critical rookery spot was 360 acres in 1930, 40 acres in 1998 and 4 acres in pre-BP 2010. Now the island has been split in two, its magroves are dead, and it's roughly the size of a football field. A plan to protect it has run into significant funding shortfalls, despite some big promises from BP.
In a high profile announcement in 2010, BP agreed to spend $1 billion to fund 'early restoration'. Intending to get ahead of the severe impacts, the agreement envisioned spending the money in a year or two.
We're at the end of that timeline and the early restoration effort has only programed $70 million, less than 10% of the initial promise. None of the projects will restore pelican nesting habitat, despite the fact that Louisiana has proposed a number of different barrier island projects to BP.
Take action today and urge BP to spend the money they promised, and help restore habitat of our fearsome Pelicans.
For the Gulf,
Aaron Viles
Deputy Director,
Gulf Restoration Network
