Nearly 2,000 dead seabirds wash ashore in California. Scientists point to the ocean

Nearly 2,000 dead seabirds have washed ashore along part of California’s Central Coast, and scientists say unusually warm ocean water may be making it harder for the birds to find food. The Associated Press reported earlier this year that record ocean temperatures were reducing the cold, nutrient-rich coastal waters where prey such as anchovies and sardines thrive.
