makes you wonder about the birds in paticular. Maybe it was a poisonous gas set off with thte fireworks to conceal it???

The area where the bird die off occurred is about 75 miles south of me. Unusual, but not unprecedented. I tend to go with them being over stressed or exhausted from the fireworks that evening, but who knows.

The fish kill is not unusual at all, although it is usually due to low oxygen levels. This time it appears to have been caused by disease endemic to the one species, but again, who knows.

It is odd the both occurred in the same state, so close in time.

A fishery crash is not that unusual if the fish were allowed to over escape.
It happens all the time and is part of a natural process.

That's what I thought. not knowing the area, I was wondering what the local take on it was. Truly bizarre.

If you read the article though, you will notice that it is one kind of fish that crashed.
If this was chemical induced, then all species would have died.

Now, I didn't say it was chemical induced :/ Simply that it was bizarre. That the birds die and then the fish.

Gotcha
I see no correlation. Dh is very involved with local fisheries, and species crashing is not unusual.

It happened again in Louisiana on a smaller scale... 500 birds over a 1/4 mile area
