Dead blackbirds fall again in Ark. town where thousands fell from sky last year


BEEBE, Ark. — Blackbirds have fallen dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town for the second New Year’s Eve in a row.

KATV showed a radar image that it said showed a large mass over Beebe a few hours before midnight Saturday. The Little Rock television station reported that hundreds of birds had died.
Beebe animal control worker Hearst Taylor told KATV the reason for the bird deaths isn’t yet known.

Last year, fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds. It wasn’t immediately clear if year-end celebrations are again to blame.

3. It's a sign alright

The elders often talked about a time "when the birds would fall from the sky." I can remember hearing the elders talk about that way back when I was a boy, it is a teaching handed down from a long time ago.

8. Same thing as last time, I'm sure!

7. It ought to be a piece of cake to know whether

there were fireworks at the time of this incident. Especially since this happened last year. Like no one there would have been paying attention?---even if it was just to prove that it was NOT the celebration.
