KBBI, Aug 4, 2015 (emphasis added): Bird Death Reports Are Up In Homer, Food Sources Possibly To Blame — The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is receiving multiple reports indicating a significant increase in dead and dying birds found on beaches… Leslie Slater is the Gulf of Alaska Unit Biologist for the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge… says there are a lot of potential reasons for the increase in fatalities but the prevailing cause is likely tied to the birds’ food sources. “What we’re seeing more precisely is that birds seem to be starving. That’s sort of the ultimate cause of their deaths but something might be happening before that… biotoxins can build up through the food chain and ultimately cause the deaths of these birds.” These deaths don’t seem to be isolated to Homer’s beaches. There are reports of similar deaths down the Alaska Peninsula and the eastern edge of the Aleutians. Slater says it’s possible they could be related to dead whales found near Kodiak… She warns the public not to touch dead birds because they could be carrying disease.

I would suggest it is more likely to be El Nino fueled eco-system upheaval. The warm blob sitting off the coast is likely keeping away the smaller fish that they need. This has historically happened in various places during El Nino years.

I think it's so funny how everyone talks about El Nino like it's been in mainstream media for a while. The media didn't start discussing el nino until 15 years ago. It's obvious to anyone that the world is going through changes, but every time they put a name on any of these weather patterns some people get hard and start beating away. The fish are dying from a combination of effects up there which are only escalating exponentially because of underground volcanoes and volcanic activity rising in the area. Don't believe me? Turn your brain on and look up recent seismic activity. The volcanic activity has warmed waters in the area which has messed up the currents and migration patterns of millions of fish. The birds are dying in Florida too. Millions have abandoned nesting grounds which some say have been occupied for centuries till THIS summer. It's crazy how very few actually have the intellectual capacity to see how everything works together, but it's because everyone wants to believe even we are not connected. If you don't agree, please do me a favor and move your entire family to the coast.... take your unused morals and brainwashed ethics with you. Go ahead and build that fire. It's even more funny and disappointing that few see the connection between ancient volcanoes showing activity throughout Nevada, Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Utah. Wouldn't jade Helm have made the perfect cover in starting fires to cover up the ash clouds rising throughout the west?...................................... Did you even know that they've recorded them via satellite in places like Arizona and Nevada. The activity is as creating these fires.
The California drought is due to the groundwater being lost over several cycles. Increased geothermal activity in recent years would explain the drought as groundwater is lost due to heat or moving lower to recently opened lava tubes that are present throughout the west. It's true, this is real. All info is there for you to research and figure it out. I hope you do, I really do. I do want people to live but no one has the ability to listen these days by design.
The sinuous Alaskan coastline, which is 50 percent longer than the rest of U.S. coastline, produces half of all commercial seafood caught in the nation. It is also ground zero for ocean acidification, one of the most devastating effects of our carbon dioxide emissions.
In other words, those bountiful crab, clam, and salmon fisheries may not be around much longer. What scientists don’t know is how much longer.
“The scary thing is that we don’t know the answer to that question yet,” says NOAA oceanographer Jeremy Mathis. “The potential is certainly there for it to be a rapid event, literally overnight. Whether that’s a slow degradation of the fisheries over decades, or whether a species is there one year and isn’t the next, we still don’t know that. That’s what I’m most concerned about.”

When the oceans die..everything else will follow..this is bigger than El Nino and telling of things to come in the next decade or two.
