Wildlife officials in Arkansas are stymied as to why thousands of blackbirds have fallen from the sky near the small town of Beebe.
Theories so far as as wild as they are mysterious:
- New Year’s Eve revelers shooting off fireworks may have literally scared the birds to death.
- A large flock may have been struck by lightning.
- Or the flock could have flown into a hail storm.
Press reports say that between 4,000 and 5,000 birds started falling onto the ground, rooftops and streets late on New Year’s Eve and into Jan. 1.
Experts are expected to examine the dead birds in Little Rock and Madison starting next week.
