Arkansas also had a red wing blackbird kill a day or two before the fish.

Wonder if anyone is mapping these occurances for a pattern?

Could happen if someone was trying to create a home made EMP device, if detonated at ground level its range will be severely restricted, up...and down.

Catfish are sensitive to magnetic fields.

I know, but give them a break! I mean its hard to report the news of the day without mentioning Obama somewhere in it.

Maybe. But I would think hailstones big enough to kill a bird would leave some other evidence.
And I would think the birds themselves would try to take cover. But then they are birds, that means bird-brains, so who knows?

Sounds like whatever it was, it was a very sudden and short event, and the affected birds basically didn’t have a chance.

I’m almost in the DOD weapons testing crowd here, but not yet...

"This happened when the severe weather cells were passing through the area."

Thanks for providing a logical answer to this mystery. It's the only answer that makes sense

I remember when infowars.com was NWO tin foil hat. Today it is news.

The updraft in a column could sweep up a flock of flying birds, pulling them up to extreme height and cold, where they were paralyzed or frozen, then dropped back to the ground after being expelled from the top of the column.

Why only black birds? Wouldn't other birds be caught up as well?

That is because most freepers have never actually listened and just repeat what they hear about it. I was once among them until last year, with plenty of excess time, I listened to the podcasts. He may be a bit mellowdramatic but Alex Jones fully understands the elites and what they have planned for us. And for the record there is no talk of UFOs or reptilian races of people on his show.

I get a lot of red winged blackbirds feeding in my yard this time of year. It’s not unusual to see 200-300 at a time. They flock in large numbers. Is it possible they may have all fed on something that was tainted?

I bet they were moving in a flock, got swept up to high altitude by a freak circulatory current and got flash-frozen.

Maybe they were caught up in a funnel cloud!

Authorities say examinations showed those birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots.

Monday’s discovery along Louisiana Highway 1 came just three days after more than 3,000 blackbirds fell from the sky in Beebe, Ark. Authorities say examinations showed those birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots. They said those birds could have been startled by the shooting of fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

The only other explanation I can think of; for these birds and fish dying could be the freak cold snaps down south?

I had hundreds land in my front yard about a month ago. They were eating something in the grass and then left in a flash.

That may be true, but Alex Jones has been at the front of the 9-11 conspiracy movement (Bush did it!), and I just cannot get past that.
