Strange things are happening in Arkansas. Over 3,000 red-winged blackbirds mysteriously fell dead from the sky on New Year’s Eve in the town of Beebe. Experts believe they may have been electrocuted or hit by lightning. Tests for disease were negative and they died in mid-air, not from impact. Dogs and cats on the ground ate some of the fallen birds and suffered no ill effects so poison has also been ruled out. Stress from New Year’s Eve fireworks may also be a direct cause of the deaths.
Today, reports have surfaced of at least 100,000 drum fish washing up and floating along the Arkansas River, only 100 miles away from where the birds fell. Population boom combined with competition for natural resources is a suspected cause, and again toxins have been ruled out. All agree that the large number of dead fish is quite unusual.
