More than 8,000 unusually dead seabirds along Alaska's beaches
Experts believe the warmer surface temperature as a source of scarce food is the cause of more than 8,000 dead seabirds along Alaska Beach (USA) for over a week.
According to AP, expert John Piatt of the US Geological Survey said that in the previous years, seabirds died in the winter ; however, the number of more than 8,000 children this year in Alaska's Whittier beach area is unprecedented. Dead seabirds mainly belong to the large seabirds of the Ural aalge that live mainly in North America.

"Through the investigation, we have identified the cause of global warming seawater or El Nino phenomenon that fluctuates bird food sources such as sardines and small crustaceans. The prey moves to other waters. to birds that are hungry, thin and deadly, Tests show that no parasites cause disease in the dead bird " , biologist Kathy Kuletz at the Department of Fish and Wildlife Protection (USFWS, USA ) said.
According to CBC News, earlier, another biologist, David Irons at USFWS, discovered white spots that were blurred along the tidal currents in coastal rocky areas, thinking they were white snow. When observing the close-up, it is the emaciated sea birds that are about to die.

"It's terrible and terrible , " said David Irons.
Uria aalge seabirds in Alaska have about 230 flocks of about 2.8 million heads. They are clumsy on the ground but are masters of fishing when they are able to dive underwater nearly 200m.
