officials really don't know what the substance is, but whatever it is, it has killed some birds, at least 12 so far. they think it's man-made. it's making these birds hypothermic, could even kill them. we are live along shoreline drive in alameda, where some of the birds were found late last week. once they are found, they are taken to a bird rescue facility in fairfield where they are given round-the-clock care. again, about 12 birds have died so far. close to 100 birds have been brought to the facility. officials still don't know what this substance is. they describe it as a gray, sticky substance that is very difficult to wash off. for years, the center has been using dawn liquid soap, dish soap and water to remove the mysterious gunk. but for this stuff, whatever it is, they have to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to get it off. >> we determined it was not petroleum oil. they are pretty sure it's not vegetable oil or fish oil. what does that leave us with? first thought, could it be an

algae bloom? we see those around here, but that usually just gets on the feathers and damages the water proofing. we bring the birds in, give them supportive care, wash them up, they are good. this is some gray gunk that's very inert. >> reporter: for the birds that did survive, officials say it could take weeks before they are okay to be released. as for the center, they say because there isn't anyone claiming responsibility for the mysterious substance, the international booked center is pretty much footing the cost of the care of the birds. they are hoping to gather donations during this process. as we take you back out here live, animal rescue groups are out here again this morning, looking for any birds in distress. i just got off the phone with some of the bird rescuers moments ago and they say they have found some birds that have been affected by the sticky substance. they are asking for the public's help in not only looking for the birds, but again, asking for any donations as they care for the birds who are affected. back to you. >> brian flores live, thanks

a lot of amazing deals this time of year. it is peak booking time, when people are getting the most aggressive offers to sail. mediterranean, alaska, this is the time to book those types of sailings. >> that's the wave season i was talking about. >> essentially by the end of march, 75% of all of the calendar years of 2015's cabins will have been booked. >> wow! is this all the people who know, this is the time to go? i want to be on this ship, this destination, don't want to lose this opportunity? >> well, this is when people start to make a lot of last- minute opportunities. lot of people may have been looking for europe have already booked. this is very important to be booking. the airfares tend to go sky high. >> so let's talk about it. we want to give people the best deals and best tips to figure out i want to go on a cruise. how do i go about it? it's a little overwhelming. you've been on 214, so you know how this goes. for me, i've been on just a couple. it is overwhelming to look at all the options out there.

>> it's important to understand where it is you want to go. i recommend people research online. don't book online. never book direct. find yourself a good cruise specialist, but not an order taker. someone who has actually been on the ships. there's a big difference, because you can go on different kinds of ships, different availabilities. here we're looking at video from a norwegian getaway, their newest ship. >> they let you do everything on these ships, right? zip lining? >> it's crazy. they have the zip lining, phenomenal gyms and spas onboard. if you're worried about eating too much, there's amazing opportunities to lose the weight. >> and also when you go back to the people who are experts, i went on a cruise to alaska and i will say that when i got on the phone and talking to this him works she goes i'm going to put you on this side of the ship because you'll see the whales. >> yeah, baloney! [ laughter ] >> she also said i'll put you in this area if you tend to get motion sickness. >> it's like going to los angeles and wondering where are the stars?

someone blows a whistle and they come out on command! it's the same thing. >> how do you know the person you're talking to is really going to give you the inside track? >> that's where you have to do the research. you got to talk to them, test their expertise. this is three, four, seven days of your life. >> yes. >> it's much more than just a really crummy flight with a bad connection and it's over after five or six hours. >> all right. >> there's just so many -- $499 on princess down the california coast. that's really a spectacular deal. heading off to carnival miracle has resumed the sailings, poor toe vallarta and cabo san lucas. if you want to hit the caribbean, we showed the $449 for seven days on brand-new ships. >> that's awesome. >> there's a lot of really cheap cruises. >> lot of research we're all doing. cruise guy joining us now.

if you're listening and thinking, boy, i can't keep track of all of that information, we've got it on our website for you, ktvu.com. click on web links at the bottom of the screen. we'll have all that information for you. >> you've got to take me with you the next time! i'm going! >> just make him book for you at least. [ laughter ] >> make sure you're getting the best deal. >>it's a lot more fun when i'm around! >> i bet, right? >> thanks for coming. sal is coming back. you're watching our commute, watching the east shore and everything else. >> that's right. it's a nice day for driving if you do have to go to work. i think you'll like the traffic for the most part anyway, if you're driving on the east shore freeway any time soon. it's not a typical commute. we haven't had any big slowdowns at all, not on any of the freeways, on the major freeways. we've had a couple of momentary ones, but nothing major. bay bridge toll plaza, that is not backed up at all. it is a nice-looking drive getting into san francisco. it has been about 10 or 15 minutes and that's about all. as you look at the commute on

the south bay, we've had a couple of things going on. we had an accident on university avenue on-ramp to northbound 101. none of the crashes have caused any big delays because it is very light. parking meters will be enforced today in san francisco and wherever you're going. good idea to read the signs. don't just assume they are not being enforced. 8:47. let's go to steve in the studio. thank you, sal. we do have some clearing taking place already. mostly cloudy to partly sunny. won't take long to burn off the fog. high clouds really flew out of the picture. some of that fog was right down on the deck and some produced pretty good drizzle, measurable amounts this morning. looks like the fog post, bay and inland fog, the combination. excuse me. 50s on the temps. 50s for some of the higher elevations. water temps are almost near 60 degrees, monterey, half moon bay. overall, look for a partly sunny morning, but clouds and if not morning sun, everyone

looks like they will be in on the afternoon sun. fog and drizzle ending pretty soon. 60s on the temps. we're already sitting at about 50 to 55. except for those areas that are stuck in some of that valley fog, most locations will be in the mid-60s. a few upper 60s after wednesday's cooldown, then we get a northeast breeze and that means warm, really warm, especially towards the weekend for us. could be a really howling offshore event for southern california, but beach weather for us. >> and they have got problems back east, lot of black ice? >> terrible ice storm from pennsylvania and new york up to the northeast. >> yikes. by the way, you've done a yeoman's job. >> we made it, dave. thank you. >> thank you, steve. one of the wildest stories i've ever seen, new video out about a man after a violent attack where a metal bar was jammed into his head. i've got to warn you, the video you're about to see is very graphic. the man is seen walking into a

service station after authorities say he was attacked, sitting in his car late friday night. this happened near auckland, new zealand. this thing is jammed into his head. he was taken to the hospital to have the rod removed. he is said to be okay. >> bizarre. a southern california high school basketball coach has been suspended after his team scored too many points during a recent game. the girls basketball team at arroyo valley high school in san bernardino beat another team 161-2. >> my gosh. >> coach michael anderson is accused of unnecessarily running up the score. district officials have now suspended him for two games. >> we are really emphasizing that we want them to pursue victory with honor, and that means playing the game with dignity. >> anderson says he was not trying to embarrass the other team and the game, quote, simply got away. the school's website shows the

team has played 17 games this season and won 13 of them by 40 or more points. i always remember my dad went to a prep school. he said the soccer team was so good, they won every game 9-0. the coach said whoever scores the 10th goal would get kicked off the team. >> wow. he said there's no need to rub it in. 9-0, that's enough. >> interesting. 8:50. still ahead. bill cosby here in northern california. after the break, what happened during his most recent performance and his plans to hit the stage right here in the bay area?

. welcome back to mornings on 2. there is a report the u.s. government was really confident about accusing north korea of that sony pictures cyber attack because it was tracking north korea's computer networks. according to the "new york times," a national security agency penetrated north korea's cyber system and installed malware, tracking its internal workings. the "new york times" says the evidence gathered by that software was critical in persuading president obama to come out and accuse the north korean attack attacking sony. skeptics have said the sony hacking was probably done by a former sony employee. pope francis is heading home to the vatican after a week-long trip to asia that took him to sri lanka and the philippines. yesterday, people lined the

streets of manila to say good- bye as the pontiff headed to the airport. earlier in the day, an estimated 6 million people braved the rain in manila to attend an open-air mass delivered by the pope. and we're learning a few more details about the pope's upcoming trip to the u.s. in september. the committee planning the trip is reportedly considering having him land september 22nd in washington, dc, where he would visit the white house and address congress. that would be followed by a trip to new york for a speech at the united nations. the purpose of the pope's u.s. visit is to attend a meeting in philadelphia on family issues. that's scheduled for september 25th through the 27th, and there has been speculation the pope may include a visit to california on his trip after he announced last week that spanish priest will be canonized in september as a saint. serra is buried at the mission in carmel. the vatican has not confirmed any details of the pope's trip except for the philadelphia

portion. time is 8:55. last night, despite all the controversy around him, hundreds of people gathered in turlock for a bill cosby concert. he performed in front of a sold- out crowd at the turlock community theater. it was the first show in northern california since more than 20 women accused cosby of drugging and raping them. bill cosby's lawyer has denied the allegations. while many people supported cosby, there was one person demonstrating outside the show. >> i've watched the interviews on cnn. i've listened to the women. i've done research, and i believe that they can't all be lying. >> i like the fact that he has a sense of family value in his show and i enjoyed that. >> bill cosby is scheduled to perform in the bay area this summer. his far from finished tour includes stops in santa rosa june 6th and in cupertino on june 7th. mtv is taking the color out of its programing today to encourage people to talk about

what race means in their lives. the youth-oriented network is airing all of its shows in black and white, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. it's a first in the channel's 34-year history. every commercial break is going to feature personal reflections on race from celebrities like kendrick lamar, common, big sean, selma director ava duverney and more. on this king day, traffic has been very, very light. sal, at the toll plaza, can you still roll a bowling ball through there? >> or a tumble weed, whatever you want to say about that, yes, it is very light. it's obvious that a lot of people have the day off. if you do have to go to work, your consolation prize is you won't have a tough commute at all getting into and out of san francisco, really anywhere you go. make sure you don't drive too fast. this is a look at san francisco. northbound 101 traffic, that looks good getting into the 80 split with no major issues. no problems, by the way, in san jose or in the valley.

we have had some collisions, but those collisions didn't cause any long-lasting traffic delays. it's 8:57. let's go to steve. all right, sal. some sun already breaking through. lot of low clouds and fog, but it will burn off. sunny today, mild to warm. a little cooler going into wednesday. i know today's monday and tomorrow's tuesday, but i wanted to show you friday, saturday and sunday. could be record-setting warm by the weekend. >> maybe a little bit of rain at the end of the month? >> around the 30th, 31st is the next hint. >> fingers crossed. >> thank you, steve. that's our report for this morning. we thank you for making ktvu your choice for news. >> watch ktvu channel 2news at noon for all the martin luther king, jr. day events. as we leave you, here are live pictures of a martin luther king, jr. peace walk and parade happening in washington, dc. you can see some of the police escorts at the start of that parade. thank you for joining us. have a great day.

some workers in china are looking down a very deep

manhole. what's stuck in it? >> what it is that won't be climbing. a van driver hits a cyclist. and it gets even more aggressive. see the showdown in the street and what set it off. a touching video of a young boy with dwarfism is hijacked by a guy who -- >> downloaded this video and then posted this video to his own facebook page. >> now hear about the fight over rights to g
