Injured Cory's Shearwater in Bass Hole
Observation details
4 birds were foraging with gulls and terns just off shore. Observed another floating in Bass Hole and attempting, unsuccessfully, to fly. Another was floating in the bay close to shore as the tide came in and appeared to be in bad shape. A seventh bird was dead on the beach. The storm has taken a toll on these birds. I called Cape Wildlife while there but they were overwhelmed and unable to respond. On their suggestion I called Yarmouth Natural Resources and got a busy signal. Photo is of the bird in Bass Hole.
