* This monograph is outdated because governmental policy has changed. When this was written, oiled birds were mainly collected by private citizens, but, starting with the New Carissa wreck near Coos Bay in early 1999, collecting oiled birds is now supposed to be done only by those who have been contracted to do so by governmental agencies. This paper was in response to my involvement in the Blue Magpie wreck in November 1983--see the following paper for information about this wreck.
* A relevant paper is Changes in Waterbird Numbers Before and After the 1983 Oil Spill at Yaquina Estuary, Oregon. By Range Bayer. 1988. Oregon Birds 14(2):157-161. Article about wreck of Blue Magpie on 19 November 1983.
* Another relevant article article is: Sharp, Brian E. 1996. Post-release survival of oiled, cleaned seabirds in North America. Ibis 138(2): 222-228. From Abstract: For oiled Common Murres, post-release life expectancy was 10 days, and long-term recovery rates were 10-20% of those for non-oiled birds. Measures of survival were not greater for oiled birds treated in recent years with modern methods. The cost and effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts for oiled seabirds need to be reexamined in the light of results showing low post-release survival.
