> You are probably aware of strange things happening with seabirds recently.
> Seabirds are dying and washing ashore in unusually high numbers from BC to
> California on the west Coast, and from Maryland to Florida on the east
> coast. Birds have either abandoned breeding efforts or exhibited very
> unusual behavior at Farallon, Tatoosh, Triangle and Pribilof islands to
> name a few.

> Seabirds are indicating something, the full extent of which is unknown

> Seems like a good opportunity to use seabirds as indicators on a large

> It would be useful if folks report sightings of dead birds, unusual
