I've seen lots of observations recently of dark-eyed Gannets, touted as a possible link to birds having contracted HPAI. Before yesterday, I'd never seen a dark-eyed bird @FI_Obs, but a scan of c.30 birds that I could get a good look at found 7 with at least one fully dark eye

To inform decisions about #seabird #conservation & #management, we are urgently asking the global community to share information about #avianinfluenza outbreaks in colonial breeding #seabirds (species, location, mortality #) here: tinyurl.com/seabirdHPAIV #birdflu #HPAI #H5N1
More than 2000 of Northern Gannets have washed up on beaches in Atlantic Canada in 2022. The unusually large mortality event is attributed to High Pathogenic Avian Influenza #HPAI #H5N1 Photo credit: Lewnanny Richardson, iNaturalist photo contribution.
