Over this past weekend, visitors to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore were greeted with a grisly site.
An estimated 300 dead birds were found over the weekend along the park’s beaches.
According to officials, the birds likely died from an outbreak of type-E botulism, also known as avian botulism.
Most of the dead birds were long-tailed ducks and loons, among others.
Water temperatures, lake levels and invasive species are considered some of the key factors in the spread of the disease.
