“In my opinion, it’s not what we would consider an emergency right now,” Saranpaa said. “But I am kind of concerned that California’s situation might be a precursor to what we’re going to see later.”
His center has received 90 sick murres this year and is currently caring for 36.
It didn’t take in any common murres in 2016 or 2017, Saranpaa said. That, too, is unusual and could be a sign that the birds moved in search of food during the blob.
“Historically, we used to get a die-off of some sort almost every year,” Saranpaa said.
Oregon’s murre season is just beginning, with some chicks still fledging. If birds continue to end up on the state’s beaches into winter and spring, the trend will be more worrisome, he said.
