OK, this is getting spooky. Maybe. We first heard about it when
hundreds of blackbirds were reported falling from the skies in
Arkansas–and the number kept growing, now estimated at about
5,000. But that wasn’t the only incident; among the mass sea and
air deaths: - the 5000 blackbird falling dead with physical
trauma from the sky in Arkansas; - not far away, hundreds of
thousands of drum fish–but no other species–showed up also dead;
- 100 tons of dead fish washed up on the Brazilian coastline; -
2 million fish dead in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland; - 500 more
blackbirds in Louisiana; - a large number of dead snapper fish
in New Zealand; - hundreds of grackles, starlings, and robins
fell dead in Kentucky, these with no signs of trauma; - 40,000
velvet swimming crabs washed up dead near Kent in England; - 50
Jackdaws fell dead on a street in Sweden, with no visible signs
of damage. Add to that the most recent case in Italy, where 8000
turtle doves fell to their deaths in a town, with blue stains
around their bills
