Necropsies on 172 birds found that 96.7% had eaten pumice with some having thirty small pieces in their stomachs. They were underweight and had poor muscle mass, indicating they were unable to feed properly in the Bering Sea. Starvation may have resulted from a pumice raft from a 2012 underwater volcano north-east of New Zealand and a three-year, marine heatwave in the Bering Sea known as The Blob.Lava, floating rocks and the Blob: the mystery behind the deaths of millions of seabirds https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/25/lava-floating-rocks-and-the-blob-the-mystery-behind-the-deaths-of-millions-of-seabirds The Guardian 25 March 2021 References Bird Category:Birding and ornithology by year
