three
>birds turned in to me were severely emaciated and seemed to have starved to
>death. This makes sense with the extended period of storms through later
>November. One bird wandered inland and was found southeast of Vancouver City
>for a first record and other fulmars heve been seen in the Strait of Georgia.
>It would be useful to hear from anyone else with information on the age and
