We saw dozens of carcasses at Tierra Del Mar, south of Tillamook, OR this
past weekend. They weren't very fresh. What's causing the deaths?

Just received this message from Brian Sharp. If you can help keep him in
mind.


I understand that numbers of common murre chicks are being found dead on
Pacific Northwest shorelines. Would you mind putting out the word
(perhaps
over OBOL and Tweeters) that we (Glenn Ford and I) are interested in
receiving any fresh carcasses of common murre chicks that are found on the
beach. If people would put them in their freezer, we could arrange to
pick them up at some point.

Thanks,

Brian
