Comments:

one of the young Common Murre's was alive and alert, sitting on the beach; located between high and low tide. I took the bird home and called the bird rescue in Bandon. I was planning on taking the bird in if it survived the night. It didn't, it passed in a couple hours (Starvation)

Summary:

Rather nice day on the beach. Many dead birds though. Tried to rescue one that was still alive by taking it home and calling the bird rescue in Bandon, was going to take it there in the morning, but the bird passed within a couple hours. (starvation)
