Following on the heels of thousands of red-winged blackbirds dying in a small Arkansas town, several hundred more mysteriously died farther south in Louisiana.
Officials are trying to determine what killed an estimated 500 of the small birds, who littered Louisiana Highway 1 near Pointe Coupee Parish when they fell out of the sky, according to Baton Rouge's The Advocate.
Among this new batch of dead birds were several starlings, the newspaper reported.
"We have sent bird carcasses to two individual labs to obtain toxicology reports," Bo Boehringer, spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, told the Daily News.
He said it was not clear what had caused the birds to die off, despite random theories including fireworks or hail, as well as the wrath of God and government conspiracies. Boehringer downplayed any connection between the red-winged blackbird deaths in Louisiana to the ones in Arkansas, several hundred miles away.
"It's too early to connect the two scenarios," he said, noting that it could be a week or more before the results come back.
Meanwhile, as officials in Arkansas continue to investigate what may have killed nearly 100,000 fresh water drum in the Arkansas River, wildlife experts in Maryland are looking into their own massive fish kill in the Chesapeake Bay.

what a fucking stupid movie
Birds are dying! And fish! And crabs! Is the world ending? Let’s ask Aaron Eckhart, circa 2003.

If the earth wants us gone there is nothing we can do about it. Grab a shit ton of booze and some felony level shit and get up here. We can sit on a mountain top and watch the devastation.

Umm, check that. They just went to another part of Hawaii.
Looking like it won't be that bad there anyway.
