SEABIRD sanctuary in Florida's West coast and more on PINK SHRIMP
. Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary: This sanctuary is the largest wild bird hospital in the U.S. based on the admission of over 8,000 injured birds each year.  It took in thousands of injured birds from the horrendous BP oil spill.  Their dedicated (mostly volunteer) staff assisted with the bird rescue and rehabilitation mission in the Florida panhandle. 
. Pink Shrimp: Hmmm...the month of May was apparently peak harvest season.  Why then, wasn’t I having an easier time finding these delicacies in their fresh state?
