  5. Fantastic mirror shot of a Black Skimmer skimming the water with its distinctive orange and red bill.

    Black Skimmers are a tern-like seabird that breeds in North and South America.

    They use their specialized lower mandible, which is longer than the upper, to catch fish in river shallows and coastal waters.

  7. Many #seabirds are starving to death as a marine #heatwave lingers off #California and #fish seek deeper, cooler waters, scientists say. Scientists fear the die-off of #birds could worsen with #ElNino warming of parts of #Pacific. Die-offs are becoming more frequent as planet warms and #oceans heat up.
    As cold-water species move deeper and farther north, the marine heat wave coupled with El Nino could further disrupt #foodwebs for sea life from gray whales to seabirds.

  9. 😢 A #MarineHeatWave caused seabird deaths off California. El Nino could worsen the die-off

    ‘We don’t know how bad this is going to get’

    SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Within minutes of walking on a #SanDiego beach, marine ornithologist Tammy Russell found the feathered carcasses — one after another.
    Some were mixed in with washed up kelp. Others were under rocks.

    "Each month, scientists and volunteers conduct surveys of dead #seabirds and find what Russell describes as a grim assessment of the impact of a massive marine HeatWave that has lingered for months off parts of the California coast.

    "The surveys that have been carried out by various organizations for decades help build a baseline of information on beached sea life to detect threats and their impact.

    "Many seabirds, including California #BrownPelicans, #loons and #grebes, starved to death in recent months as record-setting ocean temperatures decreased the band of cold, nutrient-rich surface water where #krill, #anchovies and #sardines thrive near the shore, said Russell, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

    "We’ve been seeing #cormorants walk to shore and then just die within the hour. I mean one time it happened within 15 minutes, and I’ve never seen that before,” Russell said. 'That has been heartbreaking for me and we’re seeing this happening across the whole coast.'

    "Scientists fear the die-off could worsen with the recently formed El Nino, the natural warming of parts of the central Pacific that alters weather worldwide and spikes global temperatures."

  13. Swamp wallaby sighting on Giidany Miirlarl, (Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve.) >>

    How did the marsupial managed to get onto the island through such a hostile environment? Wallabies rapidly disappear from the #CoffsHarbour landscape.

    Image: Walkway to the island. The hot 'rockery' used to have flowering native trees full of singing birds. At the end of the walk: pigeons torn apart by wo/men's best friend.

  15. Today's seabird livestream: Langstone Harbour, down near Portsmouth.

    I got to spend a week with this team every year for a few years, what an amazing place! This incredibly built up area full of super yachts and ferries, and then a bunch of tiny, very low lying, saltmarsh islands absolutely covered in seabirds
