Bemused U.S. officials are looking into why more than 1,000 blackbirds crashed from the sky in Arkansas on the final day of 2010.
In scenes reminiscent of the FlashForward drama series, state wildlife employees were searching the town of Beebe after scores of birds fell to the ground late on New Year's Eve, continuing into the early hours of the morning.
High winds and tornadoes swept through Arkansas on New Year's Eve, killing seven people, and state staff believe the bizarre incident could be down to the severe conditions.

Hmmmmmm, Earthquake, Fish, and Birds......Wasn’t there an earthquake roughly in the same area a few days ago? Wonder if there is some kind of connection?
Look at all the Beebers on the run!
According to the Autopsies, they died from blunt force trauma to thier internal organs. I read this from the Yahoo news. Very strange indeed.
Leon Lett's revenge on Don Beebe.
most birds dont fly at night/
For about the first 3 weeks when they return, I get them flying into my back bay window. They just BANG into it..Its surprising none have broken their necks yet..sometimes after they hit the window, I find them sitting on my deck squawking.
It seems that they quit about the time the female starts sitting eggs. But they have done this for the last 10 years I have lived in this house.
Territorial males fighting their reflection.
Cardinals do it too, among other birds.
in fact, my experimental shotgun measures 0.0025 gauge (it's barrel diameter is approx. one foot), but "Zero Gauge" is a MUCH more marketable name, if not exactly technically correct.
I suppose it could also be expressed as "AAA-1/2", or some such, but "Zero Gauge" still has a nicer ring to it, don't you think?
You CAN fit an awful lot of bird-shot in each shell, though, I can assure you of that.
;-)
At 585 #9 per ounce you bet!
Did you know a .22 smoothbore could techincally be called a 500 gauge?
or Karl Rove or Dick Cheney
or those Southern Amish white birds.
Hehe, or those airplanes.
Thanks, I thought they just were trying to scare me into moving...:O). Never though of reflections. Since I have cardinals year around they aren’t a problem except they are agressive at the bird feeders. Dumb Red wings must forget from year to year. I have never seen a Red Wing at the feeders, I wonder what they eat...
The light must have hit a certain angle at that time in the morning and it would peck & bang so relentlessly I was forced to get up and "make like a tree and go away"(Back to the Future III)
A single barrel punt gun is real and for the purpose of massive bird kills
They were used for market killing on the Chesapeake Bay
I usually don’t pay much attention to Alex Jones/Prison Planet articles however a posted comment and the linked pdf (85 Pages with photos) is very interesting.
As I recommended on another posting, anyone knowledgeable should investigate/verify the below:
Can YOU afford to drink fracking fluid? Arkansas Fisk Kill was 2.5 miles from Injection Well.
From the below linked report:
In some states, the term landfarm has been used to describe those facilities that accept water-based fluids or muds from companies that drill wells for the extraction of natural gas or oil. The Environmental Preservation and Technical Services Division of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), with the assistance of the ADEQ Water Division, was tasked with assessing the impacts of such landfarms in the state. The study included the 11 facilities that were, or had recently been in operation.
Four are in Sebastian County, two each in Franklin and White Counties, and one each in Conway, Johnson, Lonoke and Yell Counties.
The landfarms all have some combination of the following elements: storage ponds, storage tanks, application fields, monitoring wells, and natural water bodies. Samples were taken, where possible, in each of these available elements following the Drilling Fluid Disposal Site Sampling protocol below. All laboratory analyses were conducted at the ADEQ laboratory. During site visits, staff from the Environmental Preservation Section were always accompanied by an ADEQ water inspector familiar with the facility.
Summary Of Findings:
Eleven facilities authorized for a no-discharge permit were evaluated between November 25, 2008 and January 20, 2009. The permits are for storage and land application of drilling fluids generated by natural gas drilling activities. When conditions allowed, offsite streams were sampled above and below the landfarms. Conductivity, measured in the field, and samples analyzed in the lab (chlorides, total dissolved solids, etc.) indicate fluids are discharged to waters of the state by all eleven facilities. Many downstream sample concentrations of these constituents exhibited an increase over upstream samples by at least an order of magnitude, and clearly exceeded Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commissions Regulation No. 2 stream values.

It’s called cloud suck and you’re taught to tuck the bar and fly as fast as possible to the perimeter.
In some instances, I’ve heard of hangglider pilots cutting themselves from the hang loops and deploying their parachutes.
All hang glider pilots fly with parachutes (some rocket or pneumatic deploy assisted) and carry hook knives.

It persistently and consistently attacked its own reflection in the passenger side mirror of one particular car (at that time we had four 80s vintage Saab 900s in the driveway). No matter where in the driveway it was parked, the bird attacked THAT car's passenger side mirror every single day, with claws and beak.
In less than a week the mirror was so scratched up it was all but unusable. I thought about shooting the bird but I found its behavior so fascinatiung, not to mention hilarious, that I let it go (the fact that I have a large stock of spare parts for 'old-style' Saab 900s on hand also entered in to my decision).
After two full weeks of daily bird attacks, I replaced the mirror glass and covered the passenger side mirror of the car with a paper bag whenever I parked it. The bird stuck around the property a while longer, but did not choose another target for its wrath. Later in the season it moved on, and has not returned.
Yes.
I think they are 2 Gauge.
Nice poster/photo, by the way!
