dead blackbirds
etc
"The USGS database contains at least 16 cases in the last 20 years of large numbers of blackbirds dying in contained areas."
That's what I found while trying to work up a Bermuda, Louisiana, Arkansas triangle theory. Once a year makes it seem pretty common but what about those fish? Maybe that's just definition of coincidence and it could be who's really to blame is us for having constant instantaneous access to arcane news factoids.
Those poor dumb blackbirds. What I read posits that they freaked out and ran into each other causing the blunt trauma. Still, could be alien invasion.
my guess is wind shear.
Last I heard they were blaming fireworks, but if you flock you risk mass death. Non-breeding blackbirds are big flockers, Perhaps the mother of all flockers. I myself have seen an Autumn stream, a thick black band of birds, stretching across the morning sky from north to south, thousands and thousands of them, all getting out of town. While the getting's good.
