The magnetic north pole had moved little from the time scientists first located it in 1831. Then in 1904, the pole began shifting northeastward at a steady pace of about 9 miles (15 kilometers) a year.
In 1989 it sped up again, and in 2007 scientists confirmed that the pole is now galloping toward Siberia at 34 to 37 miles (55 to 60 kilometers) a year.

Your stomach is empty to every morning.

I was trying to explain the reason for the empty stomachs.As usual I can see that ATS is full of people that post crap like all birds had trauma, then after I explained it 3 days ago which people laughed at, now all of a sudden the vets are saying the same thing its due to the fall. The reason why these birds stomachs were empty when they found them is BECAUSE they hadn't had the chance to eat yet. Most normal people have an empty stomach in the morning, note that I said Normal.
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.
I believe it has been established that the birds died just shy of midnight, so we need to establish when the birds quit feeding and roosted for the night.

I've wondered this myself and it probably is a contributing factor in some of these deaths. I still can't explain why all these birds(usually of the same species), suddenly fall out of the sky, at the same time and the exact same location. I could understand if they froze or where dying off in strange locations. This does seem to be something we can't understand or explain. Sorry not fearmongering just saying we can't always explain everything and that makes us uncomfortable.

Most birds migrate at night, which is why these birds died at night.
These birds did show signs of trauma and it turns out that because their night vision is so lousy, they have trouble finding their way at night.
Some species fly tremendous distances without feeding.

I want to thank OP for starting this thread. It was just going to get loss within mine with all the damage-control debunkers out in full force so...............thank you.
What I just heard is an interesting theory (IF....you want to consider all these events to be natural in design opposed to artificial) is....sky quakes.
Rather than trying to explain this in my layman's interpretation, I'll embed this video because this guy really seems to have a scientific handle on the situation.

A geomagnetic reversal is a change in the orientation of Earth's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south become interchanged. These events often involve an extended decline in field strength followed by a rapid recovery after the new orientation has been established. These events occur on a scale of tens of thousands of years or longer, with the last one occurring 780 000 years ago.
The particular species of bird from the Arkansas incident have poor night vision. They fly by day and roost at night.
