Summary
In November 2007, a Beaver Island forum participant linked to a Record-Eagle report about an avian-botulism bird die-off said to extend to the Upper Peninsula and Beaver Island. The headline cited a large regional death toll.
Evidence limits
The local archive preserves only the forum post and its external link, not the linked article or agency records. This record therefore preserves a lead in the environmental chronology, not a confirmed Beaver Island count, diagnosis, species list, or island-wide event.
