Title: Strange things going on here in Beebe
Post by: Friends call me Pac on January 03, 2011, 11:49:00 PM
CNN is parked a block away interviewing people about the massive blackbird kill that happened above our fair city.  

When they asked me if I had noticed anything strange I told them yes.  My feathers were not falling off my arrows but my arrows are dropping like a rock before they travel the 20 yards to my target.

Think it might be related?

My wife said she read on Net where they have some cases of Legionnaires not far from there now. Who knows, but one thing i believe in is the animals can warn us of many things if we pay attention to them. And the way the world is today? who knows what drifting around in our air. This ain't the first case of it happening in the world.

I wonder if there are any cell phone towers near by or powerful relay towers.  I hunted under high tension lines one year, I could sort of feel the electromagnetic energy when the humidity was high.  It seemed then that even the song birds kept their distance.

I saw on the news that you also had a very large fish kill down there as well.

The kill seemed to be limited to Drum.(a bottom feeder)

Black birds and drum...hmm it could have been worse. it could have been turkeys and small mouth or large mouth Bass.

God bless,Mudd

something is going on. national news reported today that over 100,000 dead drum fish covered the shores of the arkansas river in a 20 mi stretch.  thousands of dead birds falling from the skies and now 100,000+ dead fish....seems like an X-Files show.  Keep your bow loaded dude!

Now they are saying that the concussion from fireworks on New Years Eve killed the birds.

I remember reading about a similar thing in a history book. It happened in the 1800s and people were reporting the same things,fish kills, bird falling from the sky, mounds of sand that were not there before. This happened I think from Illinois. south as far as Miss. These events happened before the Heartland earthguake. I think the History channel even did a show on this a few years ago. Who knows?

Lazers might work on birds, they don't work on fish under water  :smileystooges:

The birds were said to have blunt force trauma to their heart and lungs.  I agree that blackbirds don't fly at night.  The drum died about 100 miles west of Beebee, I say they are related, but who knows.  

As for what Pavan said about the power lines, they do some weird stuff.  I word at the nuclear plant in Russellville, so I am around some of the extreme voltage lines.  You can actually hold a flourescent lamp tube up on a humid day when you are under those lines and it will try to light up.  Pretty sweet, makes you feel like Luke Skywalker.  :thumbsup:

God Bless,

Every afternoon I would step outside to shoot a bit and the birds would fly directly over my house.  I'd see them coming and run for cover so I wouldn't get bombed.  I have never seen as many blackbirds in a flock as these, seemed to streatch for miles.

My guess is it was a great year for blackbirds but possably too great and nature is thinning the herd.

My wife works for the town's newspaper and she and the owner are the only employees.  Since Beebe can be compared to Mayberry from the Andy Grifith show you might understand how small it is.  

The wife says she has been fielding calls from Britain, Canada and various other countries about this situation.  Who would of thought little ole Beebe would be in the world spotlight?

At least I can shoot in peace once again.

Sonic canon?   Aimed at a black bird roost?   Aimed at the water, the poor bottom huggers would get the worst end of it, could be two different scenarios if a virus or something is found in the fish, it still could be a test of some kind in the water. However, if earth falls away from your feet down there real fast, it could be the earth quake scenario, but I doubt that will happen unless it is made to happen.  What would happen if a cell phone tower was turned on full blast? .

Many birds migrate at night and if they are booted off their roost (at night) they have to fly to another roost.

Hold a fluorescent tube up near the antennae of a very high powered CB on a truck and see what happens.

That post is scary.    

Not so much in the Eutimes report, there were enough errors in it to make me giggle. Pretty obvioud propaganda.  

But the bloggers responses.  I am amazed by the lack of brains in a lot of folks.

Nope no change here except an increase of the same old stuff.  The article does give insight and an explanation that makes sense.

The same did happen in Sweden(europe) just a few days after it happened ine Bebee and in Lousiana, so who knows whats going on.

The birds that fall from the sky in Sweden was Jackdaws.
