Last week, [There was] clear beach, clear skies, beautiful weather. Now
what do I see? There are carcasses on the beach. Why?" said Michael
Kasclica, who lives in Watsonville and walks frequently at Moss Landing
Harbor beach.
At the edge of Sandholdt Road in Moss Landing is a graveyard for a variety of rotting birds.
"It's despicable and it is definitely unusual," said Kasclica.
People walking along the beach said they found a half dozen birds on both sides of the beach and are alarmed by the sheer number and variety of dead birds.
Both the California Department of Fish and Game and the SPCA Wildlife Center came to check out the dead birds. The departments don't know what killed them and called the scene out of the ordinary.
"The concern is the amount of birds and the location where they're at. It's hard for them to wash a shore this high up," said Warden Sarah Weimer of the California Department of Fish and Game.
"There are a lot of them. A necropsy will show if there are any gun wounds or any human infliction of injury. But otherwise, it looks like something else is going on," said Jessica Shipman, the interim SPCA Wildlife Center supervisor.
SPCA interim Wildlife supervisor said it seems something in the water killed the birds. Wow what's really going on ?
