Hi All;

I draw your attention to the following on-line article, describing a 
massive mortality of auks in the North Sea.

Disappearing food sources are of deep concern.  For example, the 
puffins in Iceland have had extremely poor breeding success for the 
past two years, due to food shortages.   But this particular die-off 
involves adult birds, and that can't bode well for these species, 
which reproduce slowly.
