Description

Grey pelicans are dying at an alarming late in Coffee Pot Bayou. Yesterday, there was only one dead bird floating in the water in the stretch between SnellI Island and Freemason's property. Today, I counted 4 more dead pelicans floating on the water between Vinoy Park and 20th Ave NE. These are grown, large animals. I can't think of a reason why they are dying in perfect weather. There is dead fish too. But I am more concerned about the fate of these graceful, majestic birds. What is happening?
