Seabirds such as common murres and Cassin’s auklets have been showing up dead on coastal beaches in greater numbers than usual, biologists said, in the wake of hard winter weather over the past several weeks. Initial necropsies conducted at ODFW’s pathology lab in Corvallis show the birds are extremely emaciated, re- lated to exhaustion and starvation caused by exposure to cold temperatures and heavy wind. “The birds washing up on the beach seem to be starved and beaten up by the storms,” Herman Biederbeck, ODFW biologist in Tillamook, said in a news release. “We have seabird die-offs in the fall and early winter ev- ery year, but this year we’re seeing elevated numbers.” Seabird deaths have been seen from Oregon as far south as California and as far north as British Columbia, leading some researchers to believe the die-off is the re- sult of an unusually large hatch of young birds last spring, followed by harsh weather, biologists said. The University of Washington researchers have placed Sabine’s Sunbird via Wikimedia Commons Cassin’s auklet at night. colored zip ties on some dead birds as part of a seabird mortality study, according to Biederbeck. Although there is little risk, people who encounter dead seabirds on the beach should not touch or move them, ODFW said. of dead birds that have not been marked with colored zip Scott Catron via Wikimedia Commons A common murre colony at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, Newport.
