Subject: [NatureNS] dead murrs and commorants
Forgot to sign the first version of this:
Had this reported to us today from the wife of a local lobster =
fisherman: =20
"Fishermen are reporting finding salmon in their lobster traps =
in St. Mary's Bay and also many many dead seabirds floating on the =
water... Mostly Murr's and Cormorants. No apparent wounds on the =
birds... One boat reported counting over 25 dead seabirds today, this is =
something never seen before in the bay... We will attempt to determine =
what may have happened to these birds....please if anyone fishing comes =
across anything out of the ordinary bring it ashore and contact me...."
Who can perform tests on these dead birds to determine what killed =
them...there are several that have been collected and stored in a =
freezer?
