Dieoffs may be natural but what I find strange here is only one species dying at a time. Why just blackbirds or crabs or one species of fish?

It leaves me a bit paranoid thinking of some of the die-offs are actually a test of poisons or something. Drum fish are hard to kiill. If they die its usually everything in the river dies first.

I blame it on imported goods....Back when we made crap ourselves this never happened. Fireworks is a cover story- we've been shooting fireworks for YEARS to ring in the new year and scare birds off crops, never remember them falling from the sky unless we switched from fireworks to firearms.

It's a conspiracy. The animals are trying to convince people that something is happening so they're doing mass protests (die-ins) to fool people into believing that this is something more than just a natural event.

Does anyone else find this completely frightening? Anyone aware of this type of mass deaths in our recent history? I see most causes are listed as "unknown" ( http://www.naturalnews.com/030985_my...ths_birds.html ) but some cite cold weather/water/storms.

If it happened every year I'd be less suspicious... well.. maybe. But suddenly and only within days of occurences??

Because they were flocked and schooled together

It's not strange to see several hundred thousand blackbirds in one flock

Same with the fish at different water levels

These are NOT "unusual"
They just happen to be makeing headlines this time

Die offs happen an average of every other day in North America alone

Good way to get rid of a larger problem. Kill them.

My guess on the fish would be the DNR trying to reseed the river with species considered sport fish. I've seen that up in Michigan. I'll never forget it as a kid going to the river to catch fish and seeing thousands of fish of all species everywhere laying in the water choking to death. I called the DNR and was told they were planting the river with trout. Trout and Salmon are the fish gods in Michigan. If you fish for anything else up there you are not considered a real fisherman. So they killed all the fish for miles up and down the river and tried to make it a trout only stream. It was wasted money and wasted fish. It didn't work. It usually doesn't. It was the wrong kind of stream, to warm and to slow and to murky/dirty but you can't tell the smart people in government that. They know more than the rest of us, just ask them. To this day that stream has mostly chubs, suckers, carp, small sunfish and bluegills, a few bass and very few trout. Not much has changed. Could that be what happened in this case?
