ODFW monitors seabird deaths
TILLAMOOK — A large number of seabird deaths
along the Oregon Coast have prompted Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife biologists to investigate.
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

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.
