State veterinarian George Badley said a resident saw a huge flock of frantic birds when he went outside to investigate the noises.
"He could hear the blackbirds fluttering around — he could hear their wings and he could hear them hitting into things," Badley said.

You can almost line up the trail of death
If you look at a map, or series of maps you'll see that the events in Manitoba, Arkansas,and Argentina almost line up on a map. They might line up better if you take curvature into account, I'll post up the best maps I can find.
123mohan.blog.co.in...
map.primorye.ru...
I wasn't able to find a map with the detail I liked but it can be worked out from these 2. If someone else can post up better maps PLEASE do.
I have to respectfully disagree with this idea. Any line can be drawn to make something look "in line" even when it's not. Looking at these maps (and others) I don't see a geographical correlation.
Rather than "draw a line" we should look at longitude and latitude coordinates - they don't "line up":
Argentina - 7.0 earthquake Saturday, January 01, 2011 at 09:56:59 UTC, 26.758°S, 63.103°W
Chile - 7.1 earthquake Sunday, January 02, 2011 at 20:20:18 UTC, 38.354°S, 73.275°W
Beebe, AR - 35° 4' 14" N / 91° 52' 47" W
Also, I may have missed something in trying to keep up with all the posts, but why are we trying to tie these earthquakes to the birds & fish?
And, has anyone found any information about other animals in the area? Zoo, pets, bird watchers, anything. Seems like other animals would have *some* reaction to whatever was going on there.

BLACKBIRDS DO NOT FLOCK...!!! This is something that sprang to mind a moment ago when reading your post (I'm not shouting at you in particular - ...)
RSPB Blackbird profile
Blackbirds tend to be solitary birds. Small feeding and roosting aggregation sometimes form at good sites, but there is no proper social interaction.

Ever hear the phrase "Birds of a feather flock together" This seems to be the case here. This was a flock of birds in the wrong place at the wrong time. You wont find a robin hanging out with a flock of starlings and you wont find another type of bird in a flock of redwing black birds either.
I think thats it. If the school of fish and birds were in the area of the nuclear power plant at the same time and something happed it could affect them. The school of fish would probably stay in that region for longer than the birds while the birds would fly to Beebe, effects of radiation probably kicked in when they reached beebe and it probably caused them to have spasm's which cases them to fall and die on impact. The fish would be in the area the whole time as they weren't migrating at this point and had no other reason to move giving them more exposure thus killing them faster than the birds. Necropsy wouldn't show any damage to either animals except organ trauma. You said birds of a feather flock together so maybe these two species gathering at the same place at the same time caused any other species in the area to separate themselves,meaning only a few other species would be found dead with the fish, but not a lot, since other fish tend to separate themselves from large schools. As for the birds they could have passed on radioactive particles to other birds in the area causing them to die. This might also explain the guys walking around in has-mat suits to collect the birds.edit on 3-1-2011 by shikori because: (no reason given)
anyone considered this as a coverup?

another weird thing was that on Friday afternoon my mom posted on Facebook that her dog had a seizure. She also lives in Arkansas. Her dog has never had a seizure before. What makes it even stranger, is when my mom called the vet, the vet told her that someone had just phoned an hour earlier reporting the same thing. Maybe a strange coincidence, but just throwing it in the pot.

Why would the planet pick on Blackbirds?
I think you're anthropomorphising the inanimate geology (or at very most, spiritually transcendent life-pulse) of our beautiful planet. The 'Gaia' spirit is probably to be considered an archetype, and shouldn't really be deemed a demiurge-like independent spiritual entity capable of being spiteful, or malicious towards Blackbirds, earthworms, ravens or Cattle (or humans - at least hopefully not, anyway)...

Wow - you amaze me, you professional debunkers. Good debunk!
Why do you have this impulse; 'debunking'? Why not be original, scientific and creative by coming up with a theory instead?
Nothing about the post to which I'm replying suggests that you've successfully debunked anything. Which theory specifically are you debunking anyway?
I'm out of this one now - I've made more than enough replies.. Godspeed in your quest for answers all who are not content to take the pseudoskeptical position ...edit on 3-1-2011 by FlyInTheOintment because: (no reason given)
