Peru pelican deaths 2012 05 14

A dying pelican crawls away from the surf to die on the beach of Paita, in Tumbes, near Peru's border with Ecuador, on May 2. At first, Peruvian authorities said a virus was wiping out seabirds, but now experts say they are starving to death. A wave of warmer waters could be steering Peruvian anchovetas, which seabirds feed off, to cooler climates.
