Where did all the pelicans go?

"Instead, it's a scene of baffling desolation, a plain of baby chick carcasses and hundreds of never-to-hatch eggs left behind for the snacking pleasure of hungry coyotes and gulls. The world's largest breeding colony for one of the largest birds in North America is eerily, strangely vacant."

The biosphere can only take so much abuse. Then things start to die. It begins with a few anomalous disappearances and baffled zoologists.

Then it gets worse.
