Hundreds of thousands of migratory birds have been found dead in New Mexico

[Antisthenes]

First I saw about the orca today, now this about the birds!

Biologists at New Mexico State University are trying to find out why hundreds of thousands of migratory birds have been found dead across the state.

The mystery started August 20 with the discovery of a large number of dead birds at the US Army White Sands Missile Range and White Sands National Monument, according to Martha Desmond, a professor at the university's department of fish, wildlife and conservation ecology.
What was first believed to be an isolated incident turned out to be a much more serious problem when hundreds more dead birds were found in regions across the state. including Doña Ana County, Jemez Pueblo, Roswell and Socorro.

The count is up in the six figure range now. They think it may be because of the west coast fires and smoke causing them to alter their migratory paths but even that still leaves many questions.

Really hoping that it is because of the fires, but with all going on in the world now who really knows for sure?
I'm reminded of the bird deaths in Beebe, Arkansas and other places several years ago.

Burds arw all lungs. Think, canary in a xial mind. It stands to reason considering the air quality. The chain is broken.
