HOBE SOUND, Fla. (AP) - State wildlife officials are investigating the deaths of dozens of sea birds being found along Florida's east coast.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has received reports of more than 200 dead or sick shearwaters found along beaches from Hobe Sound to Ponte Vedra Beach since the weekend, the agency said Tuesday.
Scientists are also finding numerous emaciated and dehydrated birds. Commission biologists are trying to determine the cause.
