VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Thousands of dead fish are floating in Volusia County Tuesday. They were all in Spruce Creek in Port Orange. The fish kill is unusual, according to people who live along the creek, because it's warm.
It's been a week since there were freezing temperatures, but there are fish lining the banks. Some said it's the worst kill they've ever seen; thousands of fish lined the twists and turns of Spruce Creek.
The sheer number of fish and the smell were both overwhelming.
"It was fun last night trying to sleep with the smell going on," said resident Sunny Morningstar.
Buzzards and pelicans flocked to the site Tuesday and swarmed above the water. They filled trees and private boat docks and waited at the water's edge for an easy meal.
Kayakers on the creek told WFTV, that during their five-hour paddle, they'd seen fish around every bend and it appeared to be one of the most extensive kills they had seen.
Residents told WFTV the fish kill is big enough that it's attracting brown and white pelicans from the beach, which are birds they rarely see this far inland.

SARNIA, Ont. - Hundreds of dead fish that washed up on shore in the north end of the St. Clair River is a natural occurrence and not the result of a chemical spill, a government officials say.
Ministry of Natural Resources spokesperson Jolanta Kowalski confirmed that both the MNR and environment ministry were alerted to a massive die-off of gizzard shad fish late last week.
“We think it’s a natural occurrence,” Kowalski said. “They died off as a result of temperature shock because we had that really warm weekend ... and then it quickly cooled off again.”
Kowalski said such die-offs are not unusual but it typically happens in the spring.
Only one species was affected, further supporting the idea it was a natural occurrence, she said.
“There was nothing to indicate that it was man-made.”

They’ve got to stop hiding those spaceships in water.
Grapes of Wrath?
I’ve been out of the loop on this one, BUT, where the heck are the videos and pictures. I saw one lousy pic of dead birds on a road and that was it...WHAT am I missing?? With the tech we have you’d think there would be thousands of pics by folk all over those affected areas!! SO WHAT GIVES?
I thought they checked the birds and found no disease. Only blunt trauma.
How dare you not panic
there is a conspiratorial website that has some interesting things about this in an article but FR does not allow it to be posted
Someone testing out a new weapon?
Kind of like the shark attack mentality. They always happen. They are more highlighted during a slow news period
How dare anyone even discuss it! Really! Everyone should all just be quiet. Move along, nothing to see. Someone will come along and tell us if there is anything to think about. Someone from the government perhaps....
Is this another one where men in full hazmat suits tell citizens there’s nothing to worry about?
Croaking while flying hundreds of feet up in the air might cause some blunt force trauma. I haven't heard of any toxicology reports being released just yet, so we'll have to wait and see.
