Dead Birds Near Lake O' The Pines Attributed To Vehicles
Raymond Hedges, the environmental stewardship business line manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Jefferson, said coots -- medium-sized water birds that do not fly well -- are migrating across the Texas Highway 155 bridge at dusk and being hit by cars.
“This has been going on for two months, it happens every year,” he said. “There's not much you can do about it.”
He said at dusk, they move from shallow to deeper water and have been getting hit by cars since they started migrating.
