THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one knows why.

Texas --

http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/01/09/9deadbirds.html

The discovery of dozens of mysteriously dead birds shut down Congress Avenue on Monday morning, closing dozens of businesses for hours and keeping hundreds of workers away from their jobs in part of the city's most important commercial center.

Idaho (ducks) --

Preliminary test results indicate a bacterial or fungal infection could be to blame for the deaths of as many as 2,500 mallard ducks in a bizarre cluster along a southeastern Idaho creek bed, a state game official says. More tests are now planned on water and grain, said David Parrish, supervisor for the Magic Valley region of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

"We have some preliminary results," he told The Associated Press late Thursday in a telephone interview. "It could be some type of bacterial infection or a fungal-related infection. But we haven't confirmed that for sure."

Parrish and members of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, the state Department of Agriculture, the federal Homeland Security Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conferred by conference call late Thursday. Parrish said the die-off was not typical. "It's fairly uncommon, especially in these types of numbers and in such a confined area," he said.

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=38739

Last year, about 500 mostly mallard ducks died in similar circumstances at a pond in Waterloo, Iowa. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said the ducks likely died from Aspergillosis.

Maine (crows) --

Sun Journal

Residents of the neighborhood next to the Promenade Mall are puzzled over dozens of dead crows that seem to be dropping from the sky.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2006/12/19/lewiston_residents_unnerved_by_unexplained_deaths_of_crows

Residents unnerved by the unexplained deaths of dozens of crows in a neighborhood next to the Promenade Mall hope tests by the U.S. Department of Agriculture will provide some answers.

To residents, it seems almost as though dead crows were falling from the sky. Damien Perreault, 71, said he disposed of 10 dead crows he found on a walk Monday. That didn't count crows dead in the trees. Ray Beaudoin, a resident of Summit Avenue, called animal control officials when the dead crows started appearing a couple of weeks ago.

Azerbaijan (various fowl) --

Mass death of poultries is observed in the village Boyuk Bahmanli of Fuzuli region, the villagers told the APA.

They said that mass death of poultries was observed in several yards and they appealed to the veterinary service. The death reasons are unknown. Besides, a lot of dead fowls were found in the water basins of the village, as well as in the ponds on the neutral strip on border with Iran.

France (chickens) --

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6191599.stm

French authorities say they cannot rule out bird flu after 4,000 chickens died on a French farm on Saturday.

Colorado (mostly starlings) --

http://www.longmontfyi.com/Local-Story.asp?id=14007

About 40 dead birds littered a short stretch of U.S. Highway 287 south of the city Tuesday.

Boulder County health officials and the Colorado Division of Wildlife were still coordinating efforts late afternoon to investigate the site, just south Mooring Road.

South Dakota (geese) --

http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070109/NEWS/701090314/1001/NEWS

Salinity was responsible for the deaths of about 1,000 geese near Watertown in November.

The snow geese and blue geese were found in late November on Lake Nicholson, about 15 miles northwest of Watertown.

Tests found high mineral concentrations in their brains. That, along with lethargy observed in dying birds, is consistent with "salt toxicosis," Morlock said.

Idaho (owls) --

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650221073,00.html

A study of roadkill on Interstate 84 between Boise and Burley has found so many dead barn owls that a Boise State University scientist says he's concerned the owls could disappear from areas surrounding the travel corridor.

"I don't have enough information to predict the viability of the species," Jim Belthoff told The Times-News. "But the mere fact that cars are killing this many animals from one species is alarming."
Belthoff expects to publish a study of the issue later this year.

For 2 1/2 years, Belthoff and graduate student Than Boves have twice a month driven the southern Idaho highway between Boise and Burley collecting animals killed by vehicles.

They found 2,518 dead animals, with 800 of those being barn owls, the most common dead animal found in the study.

Weird and scary. Thanks for posting. Recommended.

2. Are you Rapture Ready? I bet they are talking about this..

Seriously though that is some wierd shit.

[originalpckelly]

12. Fucking widdle burdies, gettin' raptured and leaving us behind!

:grr:

[Critters2]

43. If you're raptured, you don't fall to the ground

Indeed, quite the opposite.

[walldude]

94. Actually the spirit goes.. the body stays..

Which is gonna make cleaning up that mess a real pain in the ass...

[Critters2]

97. I thought they flew up to heaven--body and all

just like Jesus was resurrected in his real body.

What do I know? I'm a mainline Protestant pastor. Went to an evangelical funeral for a colleague today, and realized that I simply DO NOT speak these people's language.

So, you're probably right.

[Zookeeper]

103. But, we still get their cars, right?

:+

[northernsoul]

122. I don't want their shitty cars

Have you ever seen a vehicle with Fundy/Freeper bumperstickers that you would ever actually want for yourself? For that matter, I probably don't want their shitty, tacky houses and I'll bet the bank that their music collections blow goats as well. I'm trying to figure out if there is anything the fundies could leave behind that I would actually want... Coming up blank right now.

[smoogatz]

128. Oh come on--you'd look great

pulling that giant SUV into the artful, curving driveway of your new McMansion. What are you, some kind of liberal elitist snob?

[northernsoul]

133. hey, I always look great

But I just think that I look better pulling up my aging station wagon to my modest house in the middle of a very diverse neighborhood in the middle of a small city. Chicks dig that look big time!

[smoogatz]

127. That's not how it works if you're a fundie--

The living saved get sucked up bodily into heaven; the dead saved climb up out of their graves and get sucked up bodily, too. It's all in Revelations, kind of.

[RebelOne]

108. Yep, the Rapture Ready kooks are discussing this big time.

3. Oh boy

I know lakes around here in Madison are very polluted. I bet water has something to do with many of these deaths.

4. Proverbial and literal canaries in the coal mine.

Birds have such rapid metabolisms that they're the first to be affected by gradual changes in the environment.

5. Well, shit. Now I will be watching the parrot like, dare I say, a hawk... NT

[Behind the Aegis]

15. I have a parrot too...

I also have about 36 other birds. I lost several a few weeks back, one dropped dead right in front of me. I think it was a bad batch of seed. We haven't seen any large bird kills here in NOLA. I am hoping we don't. I hope your feathery friend stays well.

[MADem]

20. Oh, no... I have to worry about SEED quality too? Good gravy!!

My boy is an obnoxious and highly intelligent timneh gray who prefers mexican food and pasta to seed, but he gripes about seed and treats and how he's starving half the day...! He won't touch fruits or vegetables unless they are cooked, he's spoiled rotten.

Wow, I never thought to worry about the doggone seed. Of course, the bird likes everything from oatmeal to dog food and you name it...and he's a pig, too! So if there's a seed issue, he'll just have to switch to dog and people food until the crisis blows over, I guess...!

[libodem]

6. Fish kills in the sea. ..all over the globe

Whada ya know it's the Silent Spring. Next the insects. Then the animals. Then us. It's probably the depleted uranium we blasted all over Iraq floating the globe in the air, killing off all the poor birds. What a legacy Bush leaves behind. He better move to Paraguay when he gets out of office. He doesn't deserve to live in this great country. Hell, this great planet. Send him to Mars.

they could have gone on for an even dozen, easily. Damn the man....it's not enough that he had to brutally murder two people, ruin lives, and destroy families, he also had to destroy a rare outlet for aficionados of sophisticated slapstick with innuendo....the baaaaaastid!!!

I have to say, my favorites were the 'dowager' scenes: the Babs Bush and the queen scenes...dunno why, they just crack me up and never get old.

13. Those are indeed chilling words.

I can't imagine what could be killing them all, but this cannot be a good - or natural - thing at all.

[DemReadingDU]

14. Global Pollution?

Clothes/Cars/Gadgets are being produced all over the world in factories with little or no safeguards in regards to air pollution. The air currents move the polluted air from one country to another, harming not only the air we breathe, but also birds.

Birds are highly susceptible to toxic fumes...the ole canary in the coal mine comes to mind.

[Last Stand]

26. probably more like global warming. 50% of the monkeys in a

biologically rich jungle in Costa Rica died last year because the season were off and trees didn't bear fruit in their normal way. The monkeys digestive system started digesting the monkeys. They closed the park because about a third of the wildlife died for similar reasons. We got there a month after it happened.

Sad story about nature's fragile balance.

16. So Long....

And thanks for all the Birdseed

17. But I thought is was wind power that killed birds.

21. That is what the fossil fuel fucks will tell you....!!! NT

[arikara]

22. People are getting sick too with strange lingering illnesses

Whatever that crap is they are spewing out of those silent white jets can't help matters.

The stuff that doesn't dissipate, spreads out, whitens the sky and leaves greasy halos around the sun. Unfortunately still too many people don't pay attention to the sky and are conditioned to believe they are simply normal contrails.

I have heard from someone who works around here with sick and injured wildlife that they are paying attention to the chemtrails because there are so many sick birds and they don't have any other reason for it.

Canary in the coalmine indeed. It doesn't make the corporate media however.

[soulcore]

24. A fellow Chemmie! Word up!

I agree these mystery pollutants (well the aluminum isn't a secret) are greatly exacerbating already worsening environmental problems.

Those mystery lines in the sky were my first thought after reading these.

Put your flame suit on though, they don't take kindly to our kind around these parts.

FYI, spraying has been constant here in Dallas since Monday afternoon ;)

[originalpckelly]

32. They're contrails.

And they do actually have an effect on Global Warming.

[soulcore]

36. I would argue that they aren't contrails.

Contrails, for the most part, do not linger, persist, turn on-and-off mid flight, or billow out into huge swaths of cloud cover.


Nor do they cast shadow onto the cloud cover below.



They also do not reflect sundogs at night.


But I do agree, they are helping to make the world a much hotter place.

[windbreeze]

65. fellow connie here...

absolutely believe that there is some weird shit going on with these...they aren't contrails...contrails disappear within minutes of being left...these fall and spread and fall/spread some more, until they have the sky covered...then everyone in the neighborhood gets sick with the same symptoms w/i a couple days...contrails do not make a person sick..."chemtrails" do...would we believe our media tells the truth about anything....??
wb

[TheWraith]

155. You would be wrong.

Contrails can and do do all the things that you describe. In fact, if they didn't, that would be a violation of several laws of physics, since to be visible, something has to cast a shadow. As for their formation and duration, that's controlled by weather conditions.

[Megahurtz]

50. They are CHEMtrails. n/t

[arikara]

60. Real contrails dissipate in a few seconds

they don't linger, spread out and then whiten the sky. Our sky is always XXX'd up with chemtrails constantly put out by silent white jets criss crossing back and forth.

We aren't under a real flight path which would explain why we rarely see/hear normal jets that actually make a noise and that have real contrails that dissipate.

[smoogatz]

124. That's just not true.

Contrails can "linger" a long time, depending on wind conditions at altitude--they're just tiny ice crystals, not much different in composition from a cirrus cloud. As for not living on a "real" flight path--you may without being aware of it. Where do you live?

[jwirr]

91. Good or Bad?

[northzax]

118. a positive one, actually

strangely enough. combined, they reflect a lot of sunlight back into space.

[arikara]

54. Hah, don't I know it

I still take the opportunity to educate and try to wake up the sleepers though. Good pics. I was documenting them too but it was becoming an obsession and I had to stop. Some of the sunsets around here last fall were wild. Now we just have wind and rain.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

113. Thank God This Stuff Is Generally Doomed To The Confines Of The 9/11 Forum.

Thank friggin god.

Uggg, if those of us in the reality based community had to see threads on this stuff in GD regularly, how frustrating that would be.

Thank God for the 9/11 dungeon.

"Put your flame suit on though, they don't take kindly to our kind around these parts."

Oh you ain't kidding. Pretty good reasons why too.

[soulcore]

143. Well, they don't welcome us, even as progressive as the community is.

And I would bet that a larger portion of the posters here are 911 truth "conspiracy theorists" than anyone would like to admit. Same goes for chemtrails and UFOs. I bet you think Kennedy was killed by a magic bullet as well.

Just because you ignore evidence and perspective at the risk of upsetting the status quo doesn't mean strange things aren't happening.

160. Contrails in WWII

More B-17 bombers over Germany during WWII, with fighter escorts overhead- all these pilots confirm that contrails "WOULD PERSIST FOR HOURS, EVEN DAYS"


Crewmen of an American ship watch the contrails as American
and Japanese planes fight it out above Task Force 58 in the Great
Marianas Turkey Shoot on June 19, 1944.


Dogfights create contrails over London's St. Pauls Cathedral during the Battle of Britain

30. I call them the "Blue sky destroyers"

Whenever the sky is really blue, the blue sky destroyers show up and in under two hours, the blue sky is gone. They come out and fly in criss/cross patterns. They do it ON PURPOSE!

[originalpckelly]

31. They call it water vapor...

which has been condensed. Or contrails. (Condensation trails, get it?)

Pretty cool, isn't it?

[Trillo]

39. Another possibility is microwaves designed to affect the ionosphere

such as those thought to exist as part of 'weather control'. May also be related to HAARP.

[Sequoia]

45. HAARP! Wow...Tesla, death ray machine!!

I'm not so looney afer all!:crazy:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

55. I was thinking HAARP too! (placing my tinfoil hat firmly in place)......... ;)

[Trillo]

180. This is curious

From 1994
emphasis added:

Wildlife advocates also have cause to be concerned. The HAARP site lies 140 miles north of the town of Cordova on Prince William Sound, on the northwest tip of Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Since ordinary radar is known to be deadly to low- flying birds, HAARP's powerful radiation beam could pose a problem for migratory birds because the transmitter stands in the path of the critical Pacific Flyway. In addition, HAARP's ability to generate strong magnetic fields could conceivably interfere with the migration of birds, marine life and Arctic animals that are now known to rely on the Earth's magnetic fields to navigate over long distances.
http://www.totse.com/en/bad_ideas/guns_and_weapons/haarpeij.html

I've seen a few more recent references online to radar being used to track birds, but I didn't know radar was dangerous to birds. In an attempt to track this down, I note that microwaves are right above radar waves in the frequency spectrum. There seem to be plenty of indications that microwaves have well known dangers, yet it's curious there are very few sites stating any kind of danger from "radar", never mind the more specific case of dangers to birds, most references suggest that its harmless.

Perhaps "radar" is a generalized term for equipment that may use frequencies outside of the strict definition of the radar frequency range, or perhaps there's been some
Google bombing by the government, part of information warfare and psyops?

This page states much of the dangers of radar and microwaves have been classified by the military:

Microwaves can be very powerful, but they do not break up the electronic structure of individual atoms or molecules. In other words, they are "non-ionizing." For that reason, they have widely been presumed not to injure human beings. The same was said of radar during the Second World War, in spite of the fact that it could heat tissue. Technicians became flushed or experienced headaches. Similar symptoms had been observed with patients undergoing diathermy treatment. Studies on rabbits, however, showed radar's dangers: They developed eye cataracts.

has a lot to do with it.

58. all i know

is that i was just diagnosed with asthma last month and before that, was NEVER sick or had any kind of breathing difficulties. this really scares me!! :scared:

179. My DIL was diagnosed last summer

and she is a marathon runner, 29 years old. Also, a co-worker of hers suddenly developed asthma as well. No family history of it, either one.

90. Could the hazy sky be that "sun screen" that NASA wants to

try out to cool the earth? Several days ago I read something about placing a screen between the earth and the sun. Don't remember where I go it from.

[arikara]

104. I've heard that too

I've heard even worse theories. The thing is nobody talks about it. There is a media blackout on it and government always sends the canned "contrails" reply. There are ways to lessen the effects though. Instructions and more info here: www.orgonite.info

Love and Peace!

[northzax]

120. now that has to win some sort of prize

Orgonoite! I love it.

I just have one picayune question: if you need an organic substance and an inorganic substance, where is the organic substance? if you used a polyester resin, then you would have an organic (in chemical terms) substance, but fiberglass is comprised of Silicone and Oxygen, neither of which is organic.

that is, if my high school O-Chem hasn't failed me.

[soulcore]

149. Edward Teller originally came up with the sunshield idea...

whereas we could inject microscopic particulates of aluminum into the stratosphere, thereby deflecting 1% of the sun's light and cooling the earth.

There have also been suggestions of using dirty-burning jet fuel to increase cloud cover from contrails, and even using artillery to shoot huge shells of sulfur into the atmosphere to explode, where they would linger for years, in order to block sunlight.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

111. Wait, You're Talking About Exhaust? It's Ok, It's Relatively Harmless. Your Car Does It Too

by the way. If you look on a cold day you'll see white puffs of exhaust coming out of the back of your vehicle. It is quite similar but just on a smaller scale. Don't let it scare you.

[mdmc]

123. very harmless

the earth is in good shape

[soulcore]

144. Granted, contrails are the same as exhaust...

But when was the last time you ever saw a persistent vapor trail flowing behind a car for miles and miles. Same concept only at a higher altitude. The ice crystals *should* evaporate and dissipate after freezing in the exhaust of the engine once they fall back to the ambient temperature.

But for some reason (and only on some days, not all) these trails produce thick, white cloud cover. They also turn off and on.


Also, "contrails" aren't stringy either.


Why do we only get "persistent" contrails in the East at sunrise but in the West at sunset here in Dallas? Why does relative humidity and wind speed seem to not have any kind of consistent effect on contrail formation, persistence, etc.

And most importantly from an observational standpoint, how can two aircraft fly in the same airspace, one producing a normal contrail, the other billowing out a mile wide chemcloud behind it.

Trust me, I will be the first to admit the outlandishness of the entire situation, but observation tells me something isn't right, and it's not something you can ignore once you really notice it.

151. Ok, consider this then.

Amuse me, and go look at the sky outside where you are. Do you have any large lingering "contrails" hanging overhead.

Some of my closest friends have ridiculed me on this subject until I physically took them outside and showed them the planes actually turning on the "spray", leaving a nice long fat trail, then turning off only to circle back and do it again in the opposite direction.

Take 10 minutes and really observe what's going on in the skies above you, and I mean that with the utmost sincerity.

"The universe is not only as strange as we can imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine."

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

152. Have You Ever, Even For A Second, Given This Some Objective Thought?

I think you owe it to yourself to turn yourself back from the edge. Pause for a second. Ask yourself:

Why would they do this? Isn't it a gazillion times more complex of a plan than would be required to achieve the same end?

Does it make sense to you that they would embark on such an overly complex and completely illogical strategy?

Is there any logic inherent within this absolutely preposterous theory whatsoever?

Wouldn't it make far more sense to spray such chemicals a bit closer to, ya know, people?

If they were to embark on some evil strategy of spraying chemicals for some evil plan, wouldn't it make far more sense to use a method and chemical combination that DIDN'T just simply sit there in the atmosphere lingering with some big visible trail?

Wouldn't it make just a weeeeeeee bit more sense to use a concoction that dissipates readily and is quickly and easily spread throughout the atmosphere in order to actually, well, ya know, be friggin effective whatsoever?

Does it actually make sense to you that they would go through alllllllllllll this trouble, just to spray some shit that just sits there and barely disperses?

Couldn't you think of a million reasons why this theory is one of the most far fetched and whacked out things you've ever given consideration to, and that there would be a countless number of other ways to go about this that not only would be undetectable or visible, but also far less complex?

Has it occurred to you that if they were to do such a premise, that they would've been wise enough to pick one of those other methods instead? Ya know, like the ones that wouldn't be visible, wouldn't be miles above any population, and ones that wouldn't just sit there and not do anything?

There is ZERO logic to your theory. Zilch, nada, none. I couldn't believe what I was reading the first time I ever saw it brought up here, and thought for certain someone was just fuckin around. I still find myself astounded that some people could lack critical thinking skills to such a degree that they would find this theory feasible for any reason whatsoever. Of all the ways I could creatively think of for our government to accomplish what you say they are trying to do, this one would be the most complex, unlikely, illogical, needlessly drawn out and completely unproductive one. It is beyond embarrassing to even consider the legitimacy of.

I was just quite fair to you, as I have just responded in a serious manner about this discussion. But this is the first and last time I will do so. This absurdity deserves no serious discussion whatsoever.

[soulcore]

153. I appreciate the serious reply, you don't get them often

However, you are assuming I have some inside knowledge as to what exactly is going on, and I do not.

I have no clue as the purpose, means or motives of what is happening. All I know is that there is an observable phenomenon happening in the skies here almost daily, that does not comply with scientific theories or principles of weather, jet exhaust, condensation, etc.

I wish I could step back from the edge, I really do. Again, my father thought I was crazy and needed serious psycological help, until he too noticed some peculiarities that he could not explain and had never really paid attention to before. I won't even go into webfalls here, as that would be met with even more ridicule.

The only thing I'm suggesting is that non-commercial jets, for some reason, are creating artificial cloud cover through some means of jet exhaust cloud seeding.

The rest is all speculation.

Check out all the photos I have up at StolenSkies.net. All taken by me in the DFW metroplex over the past 2 years, then tell me that they are all simple jet contrail exhaust plumes.

I do appreciate the serious reply, and look forward to others views on this. And you are right, some of the theories out there are ridiculous, outlandish, preposterous. But that doesn't mean you can summarily dismiss the evidence that gave rise to those theories.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

28. They've found the reasons for the dead birds in the 2 Idaho cases

In the first, a fungus infiltrated the water supply where ducks frequented. The fungus was natural, and not caused by humans. I've actually spoken to a wildlife scientist who thinks that, while rare, the incident was almost certainly natural.

As for the dead barn owls, they're being killed by cars on the freeway. It's tragic, but I'm not sure what we're to do about it. Barn owls may very well disappear from the freeway corridor, but its nature's way to kill off the animals that can't adapt. There are 10's of thousands of barn owls in other areas of Idaho, and in some areas are even considered pests (even though they help control other pests such as mice and rats).

Not to say that humans aren't a huge detriment to the health of mother earth - we are. But not all mass deaths are human caused, or even unnatural.

[mhatrw]

35. No, they haven't. They say the Idaho duck kills are CONSISTENT

with bad corn tainted with fungus. But that is just their best guess. They don't know the source nor why it was only mallards nor why every single mallard in the vicinity died nor why no animals seen eating the dead mallards have shown any ill effects.

http://www.sunvalleyonline.com/news/article.asp?ID_Article=2808

The behavior of the fungus matches the damage done the ducks –hemorrhaging in heart muscle, bacterial lesions in their lungs. Such a large dieoff of wild ducks suggests they encountered a large concentration of the aspergillus fungus somewhere near Oakley. Investigations by DEQ and IDFG have yet to find any such concentration.

IDFG Jerome region manager Dave Parrish Thursday told the Associated Press every mallard in a radius of several miles of Oakley has died – 2,500 and perhaps a few more- but no other bird species have been affected and no other biotic communities in the water or in the riparian environment alongside Land Springs Creek were disturbed. Numerous golden eagles, geese, magpies, crows populate the same area and none were found with any health problems Thursday.

http://www.mtexpress.com/index2.php?issue_date=12-20-2006&ID=2005113520

According Fish and Game, waterfowl die-offs are common—16 events involving more than 1,000 birds have occurred in the United States in the past year. But Dave Parrish, supervisor of Fish and Game's Magic Valley Region, said he's never heard of an event this large.

http://www.spokesmanreview.com/local/story.asp?ID=164713

The chances are "extremely high" that Aspergillosis, which can create a fungal toxin on moldy grains and rotting corn, caused the mass die-off, said Paul Slota, a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis.

Aspergillosis will not spread from bird to bird. All the dead mallards probably ate from the same tainted food source, Slota said.

"We've seen that before with birds that feed heavily on grains," he said. "Never in Idaho, but there have been enough reports elsewhere in North America. Aspergillosis die-offs are not a terribly uncommon thing. It happens." ...

Parrish said every mallard in a radius of several miles died. The massive outbreak had puzzled scientists because scavenger birds feeding on the dead ducks were not showing signs of illness.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

73. As I said, I spoke directly with one of the state scientists examining the birds

And his educated opinion was that the birds died a fungus that was naturally caused.

And last I heard, fungus wasn't a man-made phenomenom.

[Vanje]

77. Idaho Mallard deaths were from mouldy grain

I work in one of the diagnostic labs that handled the Idaho mallard die off cases.
The lungs were full of Aspergillus fungus.

The ducks had fed on grain dumped by cattle feedlot operations.
The weather preceding the die off had been warm and moist , just what Aspergillous fungus needs too sporulate.
While the ducks were feeding, they inhaled spores. Lungs infected.

Its not entirely uncommon. Similar Aspergillosis die-offs have occured in BC and California.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

79. It was a tragedy, but I'm not sure there was anything that could have been done

to prevent it other than closing the feedlot operations. Those are definitely an environmental hazard.

[Vanje]

81. Dumping bad grain into a stream bed is pollution.

The cattle-feeding operation should be prosecuted.

( Alas. This not likely to be persued in the potato State.)

[EvolveOrConvolve]

99. Did they dump the grain in the stream

or were the ducks feeding from grain on the feedlot itself?

I agree that if the feedlot owner dumped bad grain into a stream, that he/she/the corporation should be prosecuted and jailed.

[mhatrw]

137. You act as though the source has been pinpointed.

It has not according to every report I've read. Do you have information about this that the rest of us do not?

[mhatrw]

136. They don't know the source. Or do you have information that

the rest of us don't?

[mhatrw]

135. What diagnostic lab do you work in? What do you do there?

What was reported was that the tested birds' lungs were filled with bacterial lesions that are consistent with Aspergillus fungus, not that their lungs were filled with fungus.

Was Aspergillus cultured from the dead birds? If not, exactly how was this diagnosis arrived at?

[jwirr]

93. Bacteria and fungus can develop because of climate changes.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

101. Yep, they can

Bacteria and fungus are swift to evolve to nearly any set of circumstances.

[Richard Steele]

64. So, those barn owls are all being killed by cars? That's hard to believe.

Hard to believe that almost 32% of ALL the
animals being killed by cars in any particular area
would be BIRDS, let alone a SINGLE SPECIES.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

76. I've lived in Idaho for 20 years

and the only creatures I've ever hit with my car, apart from a poor little dog that ran out in front of me in the dark, are birds. I've even hit a barn owl. On the lonely stretches of freeway in Idaho, it's not uncommon to see dead birds on the side of the freeway. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not - once the college students have finished studying the problem, we'll have better answers. Until then, it's simply a kneejerk reaction to lump all bird deaths in the world into the "humans are evil" category. That's not scientific or logical.

It wouldn't surprise me to find that the barn owls are using the freeway corridor for some reason. For example, maybe small rodents are attracted to something that makes the area surrounding the freeway attractive as habitat, and the barn owls have simply followed their prey.

[Vanje]

82. Howdy neighbor!

I'm a transplant to the gem state.

Homedale, Owyhee County. DEmocrats are rare birds here.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

98. We need more transplants like you!

It must be hard to find any Dems out in Owyhee County.

:hi:

[mhatrw]

139. Here's the problem. Barn owls could be dropping dead all over

the sparsely populated countryside and we'd only notice those on the highway. It's called selection bias.

[Vanje]

78. Barn Owls hunt at windsheild height.

They dont look both ways before they cross the street.

Barn owl populations are cyclical, along with their rodent prey. Theres a lot of owls this winter....so theres a lot of owls on the roads. A lot of owls hit by cars and trucks.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

100. There's nothing scarier than

to be driving along the freeway at night in the dark out on the desert, minding your own business and FWAAPPP, an owl slams into your windshield.

Unfortunately, I-84 is a major trucking lane and the barn owls don't have a chance against 40 or 50 tons of metal at 65 MPH.

[mhatrw]

140. I don't buy it. Do they only hunt near roads? Why?

Owls are very smart. Note they could be dropping dead everywhere in the sparsely populated Idaho countryside and we'd only notice them on the road.

Furthermore, how how long have barn owls been the number one kind of road kill along this stretch of freeway? If this is a recent phenomenon, how can it be explained?

The idea that hundreds of owls running into cars is just a "natural thing" seems extremely tenuous. I've been driving my whole life and I've never one hit a bird, nor has anyone I know.

[NMDemDist2]

121. i hit a barn owl with my car in southern NM just last month

darn thing scared the heck out of me. and I felt awful :cry:

[WinkyDink]

72. Owls are supposed to adapt to freeways?

[EvolveOrConvolve]

75. Absolutely

Just as other species adapt to changes in their surroundings. Simply because the changes in their environment are manmade doesn't mean that the laws of evolution don't apply. We should limit the footprint that humans make on the earth, but we can't eradicate it completely (as we shouldn't). Every species has an impact on it's ecosystem, habitat, etc., and humans are no different.

[mhatrw]

141. Human are VERY different.

No species leaves a larger footprint, and no other species has a technological footprint greater than a beaver dam.

29. Everybody have their duct tape ready? n/t

[SaveElmer]

34. Sounds like the media suddenly discovered a coincidence...

And is turning it into something bigger than it is. Given that there are billions and bilions of birds around the globe, this does not seem like a significant number...

I have a feeling this number of bird die offs may not be unusual, just now that a couple are in the U.S. the media has latched onto it...

If they were all in the same place from the same cause that would be one thing...but this seems like media boredom to me!

[mhatrw]

38. The "media" has yet to discover this coincidence.

Most of these (the exception being the Colorado report) are isolated in both time and location and not reported in conjunction with any other die offs.

People are probably more apt to report this stuff because of bird flu scare mongering and the local media is more apt to report it for the same reason.

On the other hand, reported or not, thousands of birds dropping dead in one location is not an everyday occurrence. Some of these reports definitely bear more scrutiny.

[SaveElmer]

46. But the fact...

That there are discrete bird die offs in different areas of the world from different causes is not particularly significant...

Bird die offs need to be investigated for airborne toxins or West Nile...but they are not all that novel.

[mhatrw]

49. West Nile, Avian Flu, toxins or something else?

When a bunch of birds die, it behooves us to find out why -- just as it does if a bunch of humans or cattle or even fish die. We are not that different from birds.

I'm not saying that all these bird die offs are related. They may not even be any cause for alarm. But each and every case bears closer scrutiny, IMHO.

51. I've had that experience....

one day I observed hundreds of noisy birds in the trees and sky over my backyard. I even called my kids out to see it and we were all astounded. The ones that flew away, were all flying in the same direction. Later that night, we had what was likely a tornado, lost many, many 50+ year old oaks and pines throughout our neighborhood. Also, lost our power for four days. The direction the birds were headed turned out to be away from the storm.

I take these animal "signs" pretty seriously now.

[ChiciB1]

53. Whoops... Now I Am Worried!

Up until a few days ago, it's been really really warm, actually "hot" here in my part of Florida!

of severe weather, but the severe weather we had was unusual for the time of year (this was late August/early September of 2005). And, for what it's worth, we have had extremely mild winters by MN standards most of the last decade.

And if I ever see crows wearing gas masks I WILL take it as a bad sign....and check myself into the nearest psych ward. :+

67. Indian (Native American) Prophecy:

They also talk about trees dying from the top down.



"Warriors of the Rainbow

There would come a time when the earth would be ravaged of it's resources, the sea blackened, the streams poisoned, the deer dropping dead in their tracks. Just before it was too late, the Indian would regain his spirit and teach the white man reverence for the earth, banding together with him to become Warriors of the Rainbow.

There was an old lady, from the "Cree" tribe, named "Eyes of Fire", who prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-gis' greed, there would come a time, when the fish would die in the streams, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist.

There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to restore us to health. They would be mankinds’ key to survival, they were the "Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.

The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them of how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick". "

As recently as a year ago, anyone daring to post on "that" topic would've been hooted right out of this thread. Looks like the phenomenon has spread to the point where it cannot be ignored any longer: those jets are deliberately generating cloud cover.

I am not saying that the Chemtrails (and/or HAARP, for they do seem to be interrelated) have anything to with the bird die-offs, but there is nothing too extreme for this government to undertake. Chemtrails are just as viable a theory of the cause as anything else.

170. This is denial, not argument.

As I've said elsewhere: you are ruling out, a priori, an argument, not responding to it rationally, much less refuting it. Photos prior to 1998 - except for cloud-seeding photos - do not show these trails: dense, refracting, manytimes oily-looking, manytimes precipitating particulate matter or strings of "cobweb" material, coming out of planes in a puff-puff "donuts on a rope" pattern suggestive of particulate coming out of a cycling PUMP. Remember the story of the Emperor's New Clothes, people. That story is about the ubiquity of subconscious FEAR controlling our perception (what is it today? Orange alert? are we ever given a reason or suggested to respond rationally? NO, only to raise our level of FEAR). All you have to do is look at this trails spreading out to create cloud-cover: contrails (of ice, water vapor) do not, cannot, unpack to cover the whole sky over a period of many hours. No amount of head-in-the-sand "debunkers" can change the fact of what is happening. Check out carnicom.com.

[Mojorabbit]

181. There was a post here recently

with a link to a film called global dimming. The long and short of it was that these contrails are keeping the temperature down and without them the effects of global warming would be more apparent.
It was an eye opener. I would not put it past the ptb to be doing this to mitigate the higher temps to buy some time.

or other mega-weather phenomena. It's creepy, but I'll bet there's hardly a day goes by that quantities of "mysterious" dead birds don't show up somehwere on the planet. The most worrisome potential cause in these cases, IMO, is H5N1 bird flu.

[GreenPartyVoter]

131. My thought, too. Until there can be a quanitfiable cause of death that

is the same in each case, we don't have a cluster of anything. It's like looking at murder stats from around the world and concluding that they were all committed by the same killer. Thinking of a red car makes you more likely to notice how many there are on the highway. There aren't more red cars all of a sudden, just more awareness in yourself of what was already there.

Jury is still out for me until we find out for sure what the c.o.d. is in these cases to be sure there is a correlation.

[TZ]

126. another warning

This is reminiscent of something thats been going on with some amphibians in the last few years.
In certain ponds and lakes in the midwest frogs and toads have been turning up with many many mutations (multiple legs, no legs ect..). Someone once told me that genetically amphibians are the most sensitive to environmental changes. Maybe all this stuff with birds is another indicator of serious environmental toxin buildup.

161. I find it weird that an OP that is SOLELY a bunch of mainstream

media reports has been moved here.

The chemtrails subthread was not a major part of this thread and was never even hinted at in the OP, and the skeptics had their say in spades. So what was the problem?

After 52 recs it goes to the dungeon?

162. It's unfortunate that the discussion veered into baseless CT territory. nt

164. It's too bad you can't "split" threads.

I've seen many a thread that had this happen and it would be nice if it were possible for moderators to "split" them in some way (the reverse of LBN's combining feature) so the subthreads that run amok could be sent to the appropriate group while the parent thread stayed where it was.

173. I agree

There wasn't anything wrong with the OP, unfortunately it attracted the attention of chemtrailer quacks.

175. Excuse me but

there now seems to be more people curious and concerned with what's happening in our skies than there are the debunker disruptor types who hijack the conversations by screaming their predictable hysteria over and over and over.

I'd like to know what is so wrong with discussing phenomena that we are actually observing with our own eyes? This disruption (and moving to the dungeon) is nothing more than censorship.

176. "what is so wrong with discussing phenomena that we are actually observing with our own eyes? "

Nothing at all.
The slide begins when baseless speculation takes precedence over a birds eye view of the evidence.

Nobody has seen the topic of baseless speculation with their own eyes. A peculiar illogical interpretation is being overlayed onto common empirical evidence.

177. chemtrails

i dunno what those "chem"trails are..
we see them a lot here in the Netherlands.
the closest airport is about 250 miles from my hometown, but still somedays all of a sudden 5 or 6 planes cross the sky at the same time making these trails that sometimes turn into brown or black.. or get interrupted..

i dunno what they are... they certainly dont look like normal contrails..
ok, call me a nutt now :P..

greetz from the Netherlands..

178. Welcome to DU

Fancy meeting you here in the dungeon! Those who don't use the senses God gave them prefer to call us the nuts here.
