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

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
