Photos: The Michigan Oil Spill

Twenty-five miles of the Kalamazoo River were oiled, leading health officials to close the river to swimming, boating and fishing.

Oil booms, which have become a familiar sight from scenes of the BP Gulf Oil Spill, are now being set up on the Kalamazoo River.

Enbridge and EPA officials said it could take months to clean up the oil spill.

Wildlife rescue workers are fishing birds, turtles and mammals, like this muskrat, from the Kalamazoo River, and attempting to clean the oiled wildlife.

They were too late for this muskrat.

Federal regulators warned Enbridge about insufficient monitoring of the pipeline as recently as January.
