O/T Birds Falling Dead From Sky ???
It seems that huge amounts of birds are falling dead from the sky world wide. Fish are also dying now in huge numbers all around the world. What the heck is going on? Seems like it started with the honey bees dying off and then went to bats and now this dreadful news. As gardeners we should all be concerned. Without the help from our avian friends, the insect population could explode. We really need the help of good pollinators like the bees and we need birds and bats also to keep harmful insects in check! Rich |

I just wish I could be left out of it. Passenger pigeons used to "blacken the skies" in the East. It was unthinkable that they would ever become extinct. If you haven't read it, you might try The World Without Us (Paperback) by Alan Weisman http://www.amazon.com/World-Without-...2427905/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274206221&sr=1-1 A real page turner in the same league as "Guns, Germs, and Steel". (Available from better libraries near you, at least until the Republicans, with help from the "Blue Dog" Democrats, close them.) -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyE5wjc4XOw http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...acks_1-5-09.ph p |
