I just heard about this from a friend and have been thinking what could have caused such a thing. What kept coming into my mind was that all these birds where flying in a flock just like they usually do, and that they flew into something they didn't see. Has the military achieved the ability to cloak a large jet or something more advanced? I didn't read many of the other posts, so someone else already thought of this... Have they done autopsies to determine the possible causes? If they had flown into something, they would have broken necks for example. Another mystery to add to the ever growing pile.

"Wildlife rescuers from San Diego to San Francisco suddenly are facing a distressing biological mystery: Disoriented and bruised California brown pelicans are landing on highways and airport runways and in farm fields, alleys and backyards miles from their normal coastal haunts." Actually hundreds of Pelican deaths are being reported from Washington to San Diego. The birds are disoriented and going in circles. If you have ever seen these beautiful birds flying in formation over the ocean you are probably as distressed as I am.
Source that for us, please.
that was back in 2009

Also, 1000+ birds to get hit by lightning is impossible. It's just beyond ridiculous.
With a large, high density flock of birds I could imagine the lightening effecting them as a collective, being in all as they were probably close to one another.
physical trauma ???
I suppose the biggest clue as to what happened to the birds could best be discovered with a necropsy being performed on a sample of the birds. Lightning would have its own distinctive pattern of tissue damage .
Also anything getting stunned in the air even if they survived the lightening strike, would not survive the fall whilst incapacitated .
It doesn`t seem so implausible to me sliceNodice but it certainly is intriguing.

I can hypothesize that if this was sprayed on all local corn crops that it could have leeched into the river system and also have remained on the corn to be ingested by the blackbirds who become poisoned during their migration as they feed on the corn sprayed by the Rotenone.
There was a little frog that lived down in the hole with the spiders.
