Mystery surrounds mass migration of birds from Florida island after they abruptly left their eggs and nests behind

  • Birds were located on Seahorse Key, a 150-acre mangrove-covered dune
  • In May, the key fell eerily quiet all at once as thousands of birds left
  • It is not yet known why they left and biologists are attempting to find out
  • For decades, Seahorse Key has been a protected way station for birds
  • Biologists tested birds for disease and contaminants but tests were negative
