The thousands of birds that have fallen form the sky on New Years Eve are beleived to have dies from massive trauma.
The birds were mostly red winged blackbirds and starlings.
Keith STephens reported the birds showed evidence of trauma in the breast tissue. Blood clots were also evident, along with internal bleeding.
Further testes will be done to rule out others causes, but there was no sign of any chronic or infectious diseases.
It is said that 4,000 to 5,000 birds had been found dead since Saturday.
Examinations of some of the birds showed trauma. They are saying the trauma was from the force of hitting the found when they fell from something that contacted them in the air.
In a separate incident of fallen red winged black birds, starlings and grackels were found dead in Louisiana in Labarre.
THe birds showed no evidence of trauma, according to Jim Lacouur, a veternarian with Wild Life and Fisheries. Samples have been sent in for testing.
I don't know about you but this sounds like something out of a Stephen King novel. Maybe it's completely superstitious.
