Re: Falling Birds and Dead Fish

SOMETHING caused it to happen and hopefully "we'll" be informed of the cause, shortly. Apparently the fish were Drum/Stone Perch, only. That strikes me as odd. They are not bottom feeders, they eat live critters. They do have a "Stone" in their skulls that some people remove as trophies. Anytime a species suddenly drops dead, we should all be concerned whether it happens to be in Arkansas or California...or Russia for that matter. </div></div>
As am I. Like you, I think that any time we loose a large quantity of a single species at a single event in time we need to figure out why. However, in the end I think there are some things that will remain unknown. I actually spoke with my wife regarding both of these occurrences and she has some ideas but nothing solid. FYI, she is a Molecular Biologist.
We'll have to wait and see what comes of it. But I am very interested and slightly concerned.
