Possibly off topic but I'll take a chance Aaron will let it through.
We have a bee & bat mystery as discussed here on the list,
salmon on the west coast that are not returning
http://www.latimes.com/classified/jobs/news/la-me-salmon15mar15,0,7649592.story
and now this news on deformed bird beaks in the Pacific NW and Alaska in areas of less human
activity.
http://www.adn.com/wildlife/story/368008.html
maybe no connections but still makes you wonder about the timing of these events.
