The part of the report that stood out was there was a witness,
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.

But why only blackbirds? Surely any bird type with a similar physiology (heck, even mammals with a similar mass) would suffer the same fate?
Apologies that I thought you were a hippy.
Ms Rowe said those in the neighbourhood heard around 12 loud booming noises on New Year's Eve.
"They reported it sounding like a cannon on transformer exploding," she said.

Blackbirds have poor night vision and they were likely killed because they banged into houses and trees in their fright.

Agree that I've made more than enough replies, or with what I said before that?!
Take care and enjoy the debate.

How is it relevant to the fact that ONLY BLACKBIRDS died?
(with the exception of one duck)edit on 3-1-2011 by FlyInTheOintment because: (no reason given)
The birds -- most of which were dead when they were found -- were red-winged blackbirds and starlings, and they were found within a one-mile area of Beebe, about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said.
"Initial examinations of a few of the dead birds showed trauma. Whether or not this trauma was from the force of hitting the ground when they fell or from something that contacted them in the air, we don't know," she said.

Should check your sources before you post the same misinformation over and over.

I am still leaning toward the fish and this being connected. Anyone else notice the nuclear power plant thats almost smack in the center of these two events?

So not one type of fish and not one type of bird

What's up with the horrid spelling in these stories?

Solar flares in close proximity to Arkansas? Wouldnt that also be close proximity to all the rest of the US as well? Considering the 96 millions miles between us and the sun I dont think that a solar flare could be said to affect just a small section of the planet. There is no focus to a solar flare. When they affect us at all it is widespread not focused on one small town in one small state.
