2016-11-04 - Gull found dead on the shore of Beauly Firth near coastal Inverness (Scotland):
http://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/pressandjournal/fp/news/inverness/1075073/experts-left-baffled-blue-gull-found-dead-inverness/

Quote: "Wildlife enthusiast David Lynch came across the bird on the shore of the Beauly Firth near Clachnaharry on Sunday. He shared a picture of the gull on Facebook along with an appeal for ideas on what may have caused its feathers to turn blue. But so far no one has been able to find an explanation and even the RSPB have branded the death a 'mystery'. David, who is Highland coordinator for Eco Church Scotland, believes the bird may have come into contact with a poisonous chemical or been intentionally dyed by someone looking to track its movements."

Note: Some of the people who've gone into respiratory paralysis and slumped over dead have turned blue or had their fingernails turn blue, so perhaps this is the same thing...

2016-11-22 - Thousands of birds found dead on Lake Michigan beaches, blamed on botulism toxin:
http://interlochenpublicradio.org/post/toxin-kills-thousands-birds-along-lake-michigan-shoreline

Quote: "Botulism forms when there’s a lack of oxygen in the water."

Note: They're probably right about what's killing them, or at least most of them...for now. But hydrogen sulfide is produced by ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that flourish in environments with little or no oxygen, so the very same conditions that are making the environment friendly for botulism are also making the environment friendly for the ancient life that produces hydrogen sulfide. So unless the anoxic conditions improve in this lake then it's only a matter of time until this lake becomes a hydrogen sulfide poison-spewing factory like the Salton Sea has become in California...

Quote: "Warm seas around Australia's Great Barrier Reef have killed two-thirds of a 700-km (435 miles) stretch of coral in the past nine months, the worst die-off ever recorded on the World Heritage site, scientists who surveyed the reef said on Tuesday. Their finding of the die-off in the reef's north is a major blow for tourism at reef which, according to a 2013 Deloitte Access Economics report, attracts about A$5.2 billion ($3.9 billion) in spending each year. 'The coral is essentially cooked,' professor Andrew Baird, a researcher at James Cook University who was part of the reef surveys, told Reuters by telephone from Townsville in Australia's tropical north."

http://www.kvoa.com/story/33820852/tucson-pet-owners-believe-dogs-are-being-poisoned

Quote: "At least four different households, some with multiple dogs have fallen ill within the last month. Some dogs have been taken to the pet emergency room multiple times. Symptoms include seizures, foaming at the mouth, and difficulty standing and breathing. Neighbors report that up to 12 birds were also found dead outside their home."

Note: Birds and dogs don't eat the same things, so it has to be something other than food that birds and dogs would have in common, like the water they drink or the air they breathe or the matter they touch...

http://www.sott.net/article/335384-Nova-Scotia-beaches-are-flooded-with-dead-herring

Quote: "Ted Leighton, a wildlife biology professor, estimates there are 5,000 herring on the beach and floating in the water in front of his property in Smith’s Cove. 'What percentage of the fish is washing up?' he wonders. 'Is this one percent, five percent? No one knows. But it’s a lot of fish. What part of St. Mary’s Bay is affected? And now the Annapolis Basin? It could be millions. It could be much more.' Herring has been washing up in St. Mary’s Bay for over a week now and still we are no closer to understanding what is causing it."

Quote: "Herring have washed up on the shore of the eastern end of St. Mary’s Bay, in Weymouth, through Gilbert’s Cove, the head of St. Mary’s Bay, along the shore to Timpany Lane, Griffin Cove and Sandy Cove. And then Nov. 29, people started seeing the herring in the Annapolis Basin, on the shores of the Bear River, on the western end of Smith’s Cove, in the Digby harbour area and on beaches on the town’s south end."
