Another news item of dead birds; this time from California. One on-line news mini report on this event I read ended with something close to the following comment: "Scientists say bird deaths like this (and fish kills, etc.) are common, and there's no connection between them." We see this in most all the reports; disclaimers emphasizing there's no connection, it's just coincidence, deaths like this happen all the time, humans are pattern seeking beings and so we're just noticing them now because it's been reported in the media. I'm not suggesting we panic, and I'm certainly not buying into a Christian end of days scenarios, but I do think that to deny there's a connection means one is terribly naive, or, obtuse as hell.
Just today, at work, as I was walking outside on the large field, I thought of the recent events of so many strange bird falls, and how it seems, finally, to be over. A few minutes I go inside, go on-line, and come across the Geyserville story:
