More Bird Deaths Yankton Sees Bird Kill-Off

I'll try to get some pictures. I'm not talking about just one here or there. I'm talking about groups of them. My mom even called me one day (either a week or two ago) to tell me they were all over her ornamental pear trees.

strange all these die offs started on 1/11/11 on a daily basis.

actually they've been happening on a regular basis as long as anyone's been keeping track.

NOW!!!

After much investigation and debate I have come to the conclusion that magnetism is not only affecting their ability to navigate (I said from the beginning of the Arkansas bird and fish kill) but it does makes sense that it's will affect their ability to find food or feed.

This is MY theory.


You heard it here first.

Try this as an explanation.

Had you read the thread you would have seen the point.



Funny how all of you "science" types cannot seem to grasp a simple concept. Just because bird deaths happen on a regular basis does not mean that ALL bird deaths are equal. It doesn't mean that the sky is falling, but it does suggest that maybe we should find out if something serious is occurring. Which is rather difficult with every conformist on the internet bitching that, "this happens all of the time".

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

"They just didn’t migrate and are dying."

Magnetic field of the earth. This, to me, is proof enough. Hold on folks. Rough ride coming.

The canaries in the coal mine are dying, except we can't get out of this mine.

Thread: Updates Posted Daily !!!! I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY BEHIND THESE MASS ANIMAL DIE-OFFS !!!!

Check out my thread if you wanna learn how to track this Anomaly.

Looks like its getting more and more frequent as time goes along

I would not draw that conclusion. july -september 1996 had 9 events larger than the beebe arkansas event. 2 of the die-offs in that period were over 100,000 birds.

july-september 1998 had 8 events larger than beebe. what this data shows is that these are not uncommon events by any means. If anything what we are seeing now are relatively small scale animal die-offs compared to what has happened throughout history. Just wait until a large scale event happens of over 100,000 animals dead.

Basically what I'm saying is that these events are not uncommon and speculation about a link is a waste of time without any evidence that these recent cases are connected.

Those numbers can't be correct. Can they?

Like anyone has any fucking idea where Yankton is?

I would agree

South Dakota dear...

Ya but those in july-september 1998 that were larger than beebe died in a time span over 3-4 months and died of a virus. The thousands in beebe recently died in the middle of one night with no cause.

Even the big ones have causes listed. I'm not seeing huge numbers with "Unknown" or "Fireworks" listed.

Deadwood's sister city.

Wow. Yankton is only an hour away from me.

In which direction, may I ask? I am only an hour away as well.



I live
30 miles West...

Yankton and Deadwood are on opposite sides of the State, but in the series "Deadwood" they alluded to Yankton as being Capitol of the State, which it was, but the Capitol was later moved to Pierre.

OP could you please edit your subject to reflect 'Yankton, South Dakota" for those of us who may not know where Yankton is, especially in this international forum.

Even the newspaper article only said 'Dakotan' so I still had to Google it to find out. :) Thanks!

It seems strange if they died from not migrating - I don't know a lot about starlings, do they usually migrate?

That's even worse.

They want to reduce all the food animals too....as well as us.

Sounds like Corexit to me.

Here's an update on the dead and sick pelicans in Florida.

12 Pelicans Dead, 100 Sick In Mayport

Cindy Moseling, who's been caring for and rehabilitating birds at Bird Emergency Aid and Kare Sanctuary on Little Talbot Island for decades, said she has seen her feathered friends die for various reasons, but is especially concerned this time.

"The last few days, we've had quite a bit of birds dying," Moseling said.

She said she's found the pelicans dead near the St. Johns River and seen at least 100 more that don't look healthy. She said it's because of something in the water.

"There's something on their feathers that's taking their ability to repel water," Moseling said. "They've lost their protection from the cold."

Without natural oils that, in effect, waterproof the pelicans, the large water birds are susceptible to hypothermia from cold temperatures, and that's probably why they're dying, Moseling said.

Yes, I'm in Cali and have heard the flights of geese heading north every night for the past week. WAY too early....

Almost ALL birds have to migrate out of South Dakota in the winter.

I read someplace birds are not particular where they migrate to. Big birds like the Ducks and Geese certainly do but sparrows and blackbirds, no. So if weather causes this they should migrate, right? They aren't migrating.

not sure if its worth mentioning hence why I dont start my own thread but I been noticing something here too that I dont normally see.. while I wouldnt call myself a bird watcher I do quite admire nature

recently the indian miner birds around here, who are normally a pretty damn smart opportunistic species breeding in the thousands if you let them have been a little... off

ive seen atleast 5 of them flattened on the roads recently in my area.. I wondered why I seen so many of them they're usually quick to react.. so I started noticing more and payed attention

what im seeing is repeatedly week after week mother birds taking out their 2-3 chicks of the nest well before they're ready to fly.. these young birds are roughly half the size of an adult and the wings seem to do very little at all

while the parents nervously look on at the hopping and skipping bird wondering around gardens, roads.. gutters for days at a time until they're either squished.. eaten by a cat.. picked up as a pet (which then die) or generally go missing

It could be that im just noticing now.. but I find it unusual.. its been happening to more than a few nests recently in my small area
