as well as experienced onsite supervision during a spill. Successful rehabil- 

 itation of oiled birds is so complex that we cannot expect great success from 

 impromptu organization at each spill. However, if the resources could be 

 found to maintain a small group of skilled professionals who could be sent to 

 an oil spill site to organize the rehabilitation efforts, the prospects for 

 successful rehabilitation of oiled birds would be bright.
