Natalie Phillips writing in the Anchorage Daily News reported that since February reports from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Common Murres Uria aalge have been reported dead and dying from the Aleutians to Prince William Sound in numbers that may total tens of thousands. Warm water conditions associated with ENSO may be depriving them of access to their normal prey. A similar mortality occurred in the 1983 ENSO event.-- VIA GVanVlie@envircon.state.ak.us (van Vliet; Gus)
