I'm thinkln Osama Bin Laden fed birds stuff to make bird droppings explode on impact and was testing to feed to New York Pigeons .... except ... poor birds flew over a lake, dynamited the fish prior to getting the hiccups.

See simplest answer is probably right, that explains it all.

Necropsies performed Monday on the birds in Arkansas showed the birds suffered internal injuries that formed blood clots leading to their deaths, The Associated Press reported.

“Underlying disease, starvation and cold fronts where birds can’t get their body heat up” have caused similar occurrences “in various species over the years,” he said.

Slota also declined to speculate on a cause for the deaths, but he said a search of USGS records shows there have been 16 events in the past 30 years involving blackbirds where at least 1,000 of the birds have died seemingly all at once.

“These large events do take place,” he said. “It’s not terribly unusual.”

And you guys poo-pooed me when I asked if it couldn't simply be that they flew into a cold front.

[PUCKER]

My crackpot theory...sounds like some of our Arkansas brethern/sistern got some new-fangled firearms for Christmas and decided to rid themselves of the blackbirds via a little target practice?

[RPB]

So ... we need to find the TallyBan's cold front makin' bird n fish killin' machine ...

I'll load up Google Earth n git right on it ...
