Hello there,

I apologize for such a late reply. I forwarded your message to the Anchorage Audubon society. Hopefully they might be able to direct you to the right person. I gave them your email. If you would like to also contact them directly, they can be reached at info@anchorageaudubon.org

good luck

Ole

I am a radio journalist in Australia doing some research on the failure of the Short Tailed Shearwater flock to arrive as usual in southern Australia. I hope you may be able to direct me to a contact with a birder/scientist who may have some information about the conditions in which these birds were living in their stay over the northern summer.
It appears from he little evidence we have that the birds may have struggled to find sufficient food for their long flight and have either, in reduced numbers, gone straight to Antarctica to fatten, or have simply not made the distance. In the latter case we may be missing some hundreds of thousands of birds. In the former case, we will still be missing a whole year of breeding which will impact on the survival of the species, considering all the other challenges they are facing.
I am hoping for some information about the fish stocks on which they would have relied in the last months: are, as some have suggested, the fish swimming deeper as a result of warming surface temperatures and are therefore out of reach of the birds. Or, perhaps, fish numbers may have collapsed.
I hope you can direct me to someone who may have some information pertinent to this troubling case.
Thank you, and I look forward to your reply
Kind regards
