The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico contaminated several large colonies of birds nesting on Louisiana's barrier islands.
On July 11, 2010 members of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology multimedia team documented an oiling event that occurred on Raccoon Island - one of the largest nesting colonies for pelicans and terns in the region.
Cornell Lab photographer and cinematographer Gerrit Vyn shares video and photographs from the island and describes the scene as he saw it.
