Scrawny, Bug-Eating Birds Are Falling Dead To The Ground Across The Southwest
Gizmodo Earther reports thousands of migratory birds are now dropping dead across the Southwest.
In late August, dozens of birds fell from the sky at the White Sands Missile Range and White Sands National Monument, both in southern New Mexico.
Since then, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, and Nebraska residents have seen dead creatures scattered along hiking paths, golf courses, and even in driveways.
Finches, flycatchers, swallows, warblers, and bluebirds are among the species that have been reported.
What's more, migrating birds have been seen to be scrawny and flying low to the ground, eating bugs instead of perching in trees.
Scientists generally hold climate change responsible for the deaths. It's generated dangerously high temperatures and massive pollution due to wildfires.
