This from colleague in NC.
202 birds were picked up in Brunswick County (southernmost county in NC)
between 13 June and 3 July. The bulk of the birds brought to area rehabbers
came in between 17-19 June. Almost all died shortly after arrival. I know
other rehabbers on the coast also

Interesting...I'm curious how the timing of the NC wreck compared to the
one in NY - was it also within a day or two, and was it close to Jun 18th?
In thinking about this, and in speaking with Joe when he was writing the NY
Times article, I brought up the need for good baseline data. Based on the

As a post-script to the Great Shearwater story, a colleague from the North
Carolina Museum informed me that the wreck extended to that state. One rehabber
there took in 80 birds.

An important piece of information to consider when recalling the 18 June
shearwater flight is food availability within offshore LI waters. Many birds
were already here prior to the 18 June flight and the moderate coastal
depression is what likely drove a significant number of these individuals

To play Devil's Advocate for a second: Great Shearwater is regular from
mid-May to late August off Suffolk County, so their occurrence in Nassau is
not really that surprising, and might be explained by something like the
improved quality of feeding offshore from Nassau, for which there is some

Hi Dick and all,
I think it's fair to say that the multi-hundreds of Great Shearwaters observed
from the Nassau County shoreline on 18 June were off course. The species is
entirely absent from this area for years at a time (I'd never previously seen
even one from shore in Nassau in over twenty

Has any one looked into the possibility of viral infection? Viral infection can
make birds thin and starved-looking and can affect large number of birds at
once.
New viruses are being seen every once in a while that scientists are not aware
of, and these viruses are affecting all species

i don't see any evidence of birds being "blown off course". Starving, yes,
and this seems likely due to shortage or lack of food, perhaps related to
changing climate. But wrecks of great shearwaters of roughly similar
magnitude have been occurring episodically for years, perhaps moreso in
