Description
(Original Caption) An oil covered duck, barely able to move because of a thick coating of oil received when he landed in the water off Carpinteria State Beach, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles, sits on the beach. Large quantities of crude oil from a 16,500 gallon well leak washed up onto the beaches along a 10 mile front of coastline along the Santa Barbara Channel. (In some frames man holding the duck is Buzz Potthast, son of Charles Potthast, Acting Supervisor of Carpinteria Beach State Park.)
