POSSIBLY MILLIONS OF BIRDS DEAD IN SOUTHWEST USA. UNPRECEDENTED DIE-OFFS WORLDWIDE.

 

Potentially hundreds of thousands of migratory birds will not make their annual trip this winter after a mysterious mass die-off that has alarmed biologists in the southwestern United States.

Many different species of birds have been found dead in New Mexico in recent weeks, sparking concern among researchers at New Mexico State University’s department of fish, wildlife and conservation ecology.   

             
“It’s just terrible,” NMSU biologist Martha Desmond told CNN. “The number is in the six figures. Just by looking at the scope of what we’re seeing, we know this is a very large event, hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions of dead birds, and we’re looking at the higher end of that.”

She also noted that the deaths could be related to the wildfires in the west in which it might have caused these birds to prematurely migrate because of the damage the fires [can] cause in their lungs.

On a Twitter post, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said that not much is known yet of the impacts of smoke and wildfires on birds. Scientists are now asking the public to report in their online database if ever they find dead birds. They also ask people to collect the birds so that experts can study them safely.

The dead birds include various insect-eating birds such as sparrows, blackbirds, goldfinches, wrens, warblers and bluebirds.

NMSU biologist Allison Salas says she sent some students around campus on Monday to search for birds. They came back with “several individuals of different species” within a few hours.

“The birds seem to be in relatively good condition, except that they are extremely emaciated,” she wrote on Twitter. “They have no fat reserves and barely any muscle mass. Almost as if they have been flying until they just couldn’t fly anymore.”

"If you start to see large numbers of dead birds in your area, especially the southwest (NM, AZ, even W. Texas) please report it to your state Game & Fish Agency or USFWS," Salas tweeted.

The birds have been seen acting strange before their deaths, according to experts at NMSU. Many species that typically perch in trees or bushes have been spotted hopping around on the ground. The birds have often appeared dazed, and many have been hit by cars because they’ve been too slow to get out of the way.

“People have been reporting that the birds look sleepy … they’re just really lethargic,” Trish Cutler, a biologist at the WSMR, told the Las Cruces Sun News.
"We have resident birds that live here, some of them migrate and some of them don’t, but we’re not getting birds like roadrunners or quail or doves.”

People in Colorado, Arizona and Texas are seeing similar deaths, according to an iNaturalist tracking project run by Desmond’s team. They’re encouraging people in the Southwest to report dead birds through the app so they can get a better picture of the problem.

Desmond and her team still don’t know why the birds are dying en masse. The state saw a cold snap last week but that happened after Desmond first noticed the die-off.

"I just recorded this up in Velarde, N.M. I've never seen anything like it. I'm told of other dead migratory birds found in Hernandez, Ojo Sarco and El Valle de Arroyo Seco."  

 "We've created an @inaturalist Project where you can submit photos of dead birds. We can use this data to fully understand the extent of this mass mortality. More info here: https://inaturalist.org/projects/southwest-avian-mortality-project      

   
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says it’s also looking into the issue. "We had reports of migrating songbirds landing on fishing vessels all along the Pacific coast this weekend. Scientists investigating a large bird die-off in the SW want to know why and how widespread this is."  

IT ISN'T JUST IN AMERICA, NOR DOES IT OCCUR ANYWHERE NEAR WILDFIRES, COLD SNAPS OR AREAS VOID OF INSECTS.
AND IT ISN'T JUST BIRDS.

Well, the planet's other denizens aren't doing well, but most still focus on "Orange man bad", "Elect Lyin' Biden", "Covid, Covid, Covid!"  

Mainstream media is really ramping up the big Covid scrae now that Trump is out. Talk about HYSTERIA! They're doing all they can to create the proper mindset n Americans to MINDLESSLY roll up sleeves and get that 'Savior Shot' along with whatever has been predetermined for that to include. 

Take the shot like good little boys and girls and never mind all this business of mass die-offs, signs that WE HUMANS are maybe next on the list. 

If the FISH are gone, the BIRDS (chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail, food birds) are gone, the BEES are gone, leaving little to pollinate our FOOD crops, if there's something seriously wrong in the air above us, in the oceans at our shores, in our rivers, lakes, streams, in the balance of Nature, surely we follow. 

Industry can't be bothered with facts from Nature.
Industry must NOT be slowed by imbalances of a global level.

Industry doesn't care about anything but profits, but Industry is STUPID, because once what sustains mankind is GONE, mankind is up next. 
Then, who will be left to run Industry? 

Viruses have FAILED to lower human populations sufficiently to suit the "experts" who have 'warned' and fear-mongered for decades that we MUST attain a "SUSTAINABLE POPULATION". 

The idiots in charge have yet to properly point out the handwriting on the wall, that when ENOUGH of our food supply is gone, STARVATION will accomplish what viruses failed to do. 

Not that viruses haven't played key roles...
Avian Flu, Swine Flu have culled our food supply tremendously, but lesser known viruses are out there.
 

--JAPANESE B-ENCEPHALITIS
This is a fatal disease of pigs, horses, sheep, birds and man. The infection is caused by a flavivirus, a single stranded RNA virus. It is transmitted by the bite of the Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquito.--FOOT & MOUTH DISEASE

--Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) or hoof-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral disease of domestic animals such as cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats and pigs, as well as antelope, bison and deer. It is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus. Seven main types of Foot and Mouth Virus are believed to exist

--Hantaviruses are spread to humans by rodents, particularly mice and rats. People can become infected with a hantavirus if they come into direct contact with the bodily secretions of these animals or if they breathe in virus-carrying particles from those secretions that have become aerosolized.

--Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
It's classified as a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) -- caused by prions, not actual viruses-- transmissible because it can be spread from cattle to humans and spongiform because it causes a characteristic "spongy" degeneration of brain tissue.

Humans can get vCJD when they eat beef from cows with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a disease similar to vCJD that occurs in cattle.

As of 2018, there is no cure or effective treatment for CJD.  

--Marburg virus belongs to the Filovirus family of viruses, whose defining characteristic are the filamentous shapes of the viral particles. The disease it causes, Marburg virus disease (MVD), is spread from person to person through bodily fluids, much like Ebola. Marburg virus has other things in common with Ebola, as well. It's transferred to humans by fruit bats belonging to the Pteropodidae family, and it can cause viral hemorrhagic fever in some patients.

More than half of the infectious diseases that affect people come from animals.  
Now, for the first time, the government is releasing a list of the top eight illnesses spread from animals — called zoonotic diseases — in the United States. 

The list includes some strains of the flu, Salmonella infection, 
West Nile virus, the plague (bacterial), emerging coronaviruses such as Middle East respiratory syndrome, rabies, brucellosis (a bacterial infection) and Lyme disease, according to the list, released May 6 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The eight illnesses were chosen based on the potential for the disease to cause an epidemic or pandemic, the severity of the disease, the economic impact, the potential for the introduction or spread of the disease in the U.S., and the potential for bioterrorism. (An epidemic refers to when a disease affects more of a given population than expected; a pandemic refers to a worldwide epidemic.)

Even Viruses Catch Viruses

Among pathogens, viruses are unique in their collective ability to infect all types of organisms. There are plant viruses, insect viruses, fungal viruses, and even viruses that infect only amoeba and bacteria. Now a group of researchers at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France has made the startling discovery that even some viruses can have viruses.

In a paper in Nature in 2008, the group described how they identified a giant mimivirus in a cooling tower in France. Mimiviruses are the largest viruses known to exist — so big they are visible under a normal optical microscope (usually much higher resolution electron microscopes are needed to view them). The new virus, large even by mimivirus standards, was appropriately named "mamavirus."

In the same cooling tower, the French group also discovered a second, tiny virus that infects the giant mamavirus. This they named "Sputnik."

The group sequenced Sputnik's genetic code and discovered that a number of its gene sequences are similar to those found in a massive survey of genetic material taken from oceans all over the globe. This suggests that a whole class of viruses might exist that infect other viruses.

We explore space but know far too little about Planet Earth and what affects the species found here.

Seems to me, as it has for over 60 years, that it would better serve life on earth to know our own planet first, to spend all those billions we now spend on space exploration to secure the health and well-being of this little blue marble before we look beyond to places we can't know would sustain human life.

When the NATURAL WORLD collapses, all of Industry will just fall down. 

We are ALL connected. 
We ALL are sustained by very thin threads and will continue, or not, as a species depending on which and how many threads BREAK.
