Over 100 Oil-soaked Birds Discovered off Louisiana's Coast After an Oil Spill Prompted by Ida's Flooding

Over 100 birds soaked with oil have been discovered in Hurricane Ida's aftermath. Ida prompted a flood in a refinery which led to spillage of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The number of oiled birds has been increasingly noticed within heavy pockets of oil all over the Phillips 66 Alliance Refinery located in Belle Chasse, and also close to flooded fields and wet ponds along the Mississippi River.
