The small somewhat rural township of Beebe, Arkansas was not showered with your ordinary rainstorm, but with a birdstorm as thousands of Red-Winged Blackbirds fell upon the ground dead. Residents said the small town looked like something from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The dead blackbirds littered the ground, streets and roofs of homes and yards. The game and fish patrol helped clean up the bird's rembrants and will give testing to see what may have caused their all so sudden deaths. The birds started dropping around 4 a.m. New Year's morning and continued to around 12 p.m that afternoon. The clean-up process took several hours, but most of the dead birds have been removed. No explanation as to the actual cause of their deaths, but speculation point to weather conditions. People in the town are still in awe of the happenings.


This is a strange and Odd story...
Each time I write about one there's another as they keep
getting Odder!

I'll be around...
Lookout!....It's raining birds!
LOL!

How weird! I wonder what caused the birds to die so suddenly?

Jen sources aren't certain, but did mention it may have been weather conditions. Now they will wait and see what lab tests will reveal. I love winged creatures...

...bats as well?

Ha! Ha! ..Believe it or not I am fascinated by the noctural life of bats. However, never really wanted to go into their caves. I like watching nature specials about their habitats....as well as vultures...whom I fear are one of the most hated birds. [Laughs]
Okay...
Juicy.
