<a href="../201302/31679.h I have no idea about the salmon, but wouldn't we look at the winter hurricane (160 km/hr at Yarmouth, I believe) last Saturday, Feb. 9th ? This was as bad as it ever gets, with temps below freezing even in SW NS. I would not be surprised that seabirds are not equal to these horrible conditions.
