Queen Bess Island, a tiny island along the coast of Louisiana, is an important nesting ground for pelicans. For a long time, Queen Bess had been wearing away, and pelicans were running out of room to build their nests. Then, in 2010, the worst oil spill in history ravaged the island. Oil covered hundreds of pelicans, many died, and the rookery was ruined.In a grand experiment, the first of its kind, people worked together to completely restore the island. Pelicans returned to nest in record numbers.Today, Queen Bess Island is full of life. With beautiful photography and fascinating information, A Place for Pelicans presents the inspiring story of Queen Bess Island and the magnificent birds that nest on it. Read more
