I have figured out what's killing the birds and fish. A future VOLCANO!

[Renew Deal]

The dieing brids and fish are very suspicious. The explanations include weather, planes, God, and fireworks. None of those are the true reason, though fireworks are the closest. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x114098">Scientists say fireworks may be the cause. Fireworks contain sulfur. Sulfur is also a lethal sign of volcanic activity.

Arkansas has a history of volcanic activity that is very old. http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/LivingWith/VolcanicPast/Places/volcanic_past_arkansas.html

And there's the answer. It's just a matter of time.

1. Don't be silly. They fell through a dimension portal from an alternate universe.

The shock of the transition from one reality to another was too much for them. Besides, they can't survive without their alternate-reality oxygen, which is similar to our own oxygen, but has one extra quark in the nucleus.

16. Aren't they usually returned freeze-dried condition from there?

And don't stop, love this stuff. More, more!

2. Fireworks? LOL.

not a chance.

7. We had a nearby fireworks display on New Years. The Starlings in

the tree behind us went nuts. Luckily there was enough light for them to find their way back to the trees.

I could see where the launch of the rocket would spook them to fly. Unfortunately they may have flown into the vicinity of the aerial bomb.

3. My money is on the military testing some new secret sonic type weapon.

Thanks for the thread, Renew Deal.

4. Anyone heard anything about dead pelicans in LA?

I read a blurb that they've been washing up on shore pummeled to death especially at the joints. It's systemic and not as a result of beating, bludgeoning, etc. It's scary added to the bees, fish & blackbird die offs.

:scared:

Has Mother Earth finally had enough?

8. Maybe a pelican fight club?

"pummeled to death especially at the joints." very strange indeed.

13. Your post has me imagining some really weird scenes

[hootinholler]

10. Nope and I'm not aware of any Justice dying in a seedy theater either. n/t

[Lucinda]

15. Found this article:

19. I thought it was on the East Coast.

The Mother Earth having enough analogy was also used in the BP Gulf... words fail me... thing.

One person told me, if was as if Mother Earth said:

"Okay, you want oil? Fine, have it! All of it!"

5. Why would we do that here

when the DoD has Iraq and Afghanistan to play with new weapons?

[Uncle Joe]

6. They usually play with them here first.

[freshwest]

20. I'm sorry, but why not? It doesn't seem they think the USA is special, either.

[librechik]

11. I checked for military bases in the area yesterday, but except for Little Rock AFB

there aren't any. Vets said they died from physical trauma. Sound or Electromagnetic pulse crossed my mind, too. Or (ha ha) maybe they bumped into a UFO/time machine that suddenly popped into existence.
No evidence for any of those at the moment...

[Uncle Joe]

14. I believe they still have a Naval Air Station near Memphis as well.

I like your toon, Happy New Year.:)

9. I'm not saying you're right, but there has been a lot of seismic activity

in the state over the last several months.

This article refers to Guy, AR, which is about 40 miles from Beebe, AR, (as the blackbird flies), where the dead birds fell from the sky.

[siligut]

17. My same thought

Volcanoes and seismic activity occur together along the plates. http://www.wibw.com/nationalnews/headlines/Arkansas_Earthquakes_111815534.html

487 measurable earthquakes in Guy since September. But apparently it is rather unusual for them to have any earthquakes at all. Maybe it isn't a natural occurrence.

12. How about methane?

It can kill instantly, like those lakes in Africa years ago that burped methane and killed everything within miles of the lake? I don't think sulfur could unless there is a lot of it and it would also kill everything. The reason I don't think it's sulfur is because I live in an area that sits in the caldera of an ancient volcano. We have sulfur everywhere, in the soil, in the water and as well as sulfur springs that people bathe in. It doesn't seem to affect the wildlife.

18. No, the ultimate contintental death scenario still belongs to the Yellowstone Caldera.

They.. (You know, 'Them') ...

Are suppressing the news about this impending catastrophe.

Hello, Mexico! Open wide your golden gates and let us in!

BTW, thanks for the picture.

[catbyte]

22. If Yellowstone erupts, Mexico won't save you.

[freshwest]

23. Oh, don't worry, I'm not gonna make it.

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. Limnic eruption

24. Geology FAIL.

No hotspot, subduction zone, or rift = no volcano. :eyes:

25. Did you bother to read the USGS link?
