Considering southern migration patterns and environmental cues that wildlife take, it would stand to reason that with the Magnetic North Pole losing strength and moving over and across the True North Pole toward Russia, e.g. Away from the Southern United States in distance and strength, it would stand to reason that birds and fish may be confused as to their distance and direction from the locations they instinctively should be heading.
A failure to interpret the location and distance of the Magnetic North Pole could clearly lead to a failure for birds and fish to properly migrate south in time to overt cold spells and eminent death.

Cold temps are not the ROOT cause.. .perform your root cause analysis and you get the trigger being the Pole Shift... which is not very common.. though natural.
Over the past century The Magnetic North Pole has been shifting toward Russia at a steady pace, in fact, at an average of 25 miles per year, an alarming rate considering how many systems are dependent on its location.

It's not simply a coincidence either...

Of course but it still doesn't explain why all these birds are dropping out of the sky and suddenly, and most of them have blunt force trauma like injuries. Now the fall I guess could cause this but why did they fall in the first place. Some of these flocks are huge I know, so it's a relatively small percentage, but if 5000 people in a small city of a hundred thousand suddenly fell dead(for no apparent reason) would this be cause for concern? I'm being facetious and maybe a little extreme but it does seem to be happening with a little more regularity(the bird and fish die offs).

The only issue I have with the pole shift theory is that the shift is gradual and the birds are fully capable of making gradual adjustments. What stands out to me is the early and hard hitting winter weather that much of the northern hemisphere has seen this season. It seems more likely that these animals got caught up in the early winter weather before they could complete their migration from their summer grounds to their winter grounds.
I think another important point (with the birds anyway) is that they were discovered with no food in their stomach. No food = no energy. No energy = difficulties fighting off the elements of nature. I wonder, has anyone looked into the reasoning for the empty stomachs? Perhaps the summer lasted longer this year in their northern summer breeding grounds, thus enticing the birds to stay longer, and by the time they began to migrate southward their food source was absent (i.e. grains already harvested). Another idea on the empty stomachs is Monsanto. Monsanto crops may have caused insect populations to decline, thus removing an important element of many bird diets.

You obviously don't get it.....
According to your article... the birds died from the cold and or other weather phenomena.

The gizzards and stomachs of the birds were empty.

You bring up a really good point about food... do you have a link to support the "no food in belly" theory?
We’ve already ruled it out for the fish, but what about the birds? Actually, that’s a negative too. The birds’ stomachs were empty.
UPDATE: A state veterinarian tells NBC that preliminary necropsy results from several birds show that they died of "multiple blunt trauma to their vital organs," though what caused the trauma remains uncertain. According to Dr. George Badley, their stomachs were empty, so they weren't poisoned, and they died in midair, not upon impact with the ground.
The birds were "normal," with empty gizzards and stomachs, indicating that poisoning was not likely.
