Thousands of migratory birds were killed or injured after apparently mistaking a Wal-Mart parking lot, football fields and other snow-covered areas of southern Utah for bodies of water and plummeting to the ground in what one state wildlife expert called the worst mass bird crash she'd ever seen.

Can anybody say "Alfred Hitchcock?"

Damn, and they missed Harry Reid's Place? It's a sign for the Mormons of whats to be coming their way!

[Conley]

How in the world would that look like a body of water to a bird?

[MMC]

Yeah.....I was wondering just how that expert got into their heads to come up with that thought? :laugh: :undecided:

Apparently man-made night lights are the problem. Sucks to be a bird in the age of electricity.

[Conley]

Hmm. Weird. That's sad.

[Conley]

I guess the expression 'bird brain' exists for a reason.

[MMC]

No.....sucks to be humans in the age of electricity. They make us pay for that shit! :wink:

Seems like there is a weird bird story every year these days...

Wal Mart is clearly the bastion of natural selection.
