Artists Use Zazzle To Help Migrating Birds

As winter is approaching the northern hemisphere, many birds are getting ready to set off for their yearly migration south.  This year, it’s worrisome for many bird lovers near the gulf coast, as 12 species of Minnesota waterfowl (who winter along the Gulf of Mexico) could possibly be hurt due to oil-contaminated marshes and coastlines.

Organized by Jane Freeman and Paul Jackson, around 100 nationally and internationally known artist have joined together and created the Art Vs Oil Spill where 100% of all the royalties goes to the Wildlife Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation Society - a non-profit that trains wildlife rescue personnel on how to clean oiled birds.

This calendar features photos of brown pelicans on Florida's Gulf Coast. Some of the birds are swimming in the water, some are walking on their short legs, and some are posing on posts by the canal, with tropical green in the background. The details of their feathers and features are highlighted against shimmering water, boats with rippling reflections, blue sky and trees - a calendar for bird lovers and a salute to pelicans everywhere.
