Oiled Birds
The birds saved from oil spills are just a fraction of the population that will be killed by them.
While hundreds of birds have been rescued from certain death, even more are expected to perish in this disaster. Jonna Mazet, veterinarian with University of California, Davis and an expert on oil spills, said for every one bird that is rescued, an estimated 10 to 100 other birds die at sea.

Applies to our conspecifics too, of course.
