mystery follows the massive death of fish and birds in the United States

mystery follows the massive death of fish and birds Days after the deaths of 5,000 birds in Arkansas, wildlife experts are investigating the death of Louisiana other highway 500 in Pointe Coupee. intriguing thing is that part of the birds who have now died in Louisiana are red-winged blackbirds, the same species of birds that died in Arkansas. Despite the initial alarm, experts say that such birds tend to nest in large groups and that any shock may cause some of them disoriented and crash into buildings or trees. "It is not surprising if it is one or two incidents like this," said Melanie Driscoll, director of the National Audubon Society, an organization for the conservation of birds. "These things happen." Blackbirds and starlings were found on Monday in two zones between New Roads and Morganza, Louisiana, according to Bo Boehringer, Press Secretary to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Louisiana. Jim LaCour, a veterinarian who works for the department, discovered that many of the birds showed traumatic injuries. Be close to power lines located along the highway could be a factor, because the birds might have collided with them in the dark, the department said. Boehringer said the birds had been sent to laboratories Georgia, Iowa and Wisconsin to discuss the causes of his death. The events in Louisiana took place after about 5,000 birds, most of them red-winged blackbirds, were found dead in Beebe, Arkansas, New Year's Eve. Investigciones of veterinarians in the area concluded on Monday that they had died after massive trauma. One theory being considered is that the birds were spooked by the fireworks of New Year's Eve and crashed into buildings and other places. Another theory is that extreme meteoroógicas conditions may have caused the deaths. "We are investigating more about other stressful events," said Keith Stephens, a spokesman for Game and Fish Commission Arkansas, noting that the extreme weather conditions had subsided in the area at the time of the incident. Driscoll added that the blackbirds and starlings nest in large groups of 100,000 or more. Compared with that amount, 500 or 5,000 birds "are not great numbers." The Commission is also trying to determine the cause of death of about 100,000 fish in an area 20 miles (32 kilometers) of the Arkansas River. The fish was discovered on 30 December. Stephens said that a disease could have been the cause, taking into account that almost All fish belong to the same species, adding that the two events that occurred in Arkansas do not seem related.
