Canaries in the coal mine

Bird deaths are occurring around the country and those of us who have our ears and eyes open are beginning to believe that something is very wrong. The first big story was the mystery of birds dropping from the sky in Austin, TX. See video below:



Later, birds were mysteriously dropping from the sky in Esperance, Australia. That case was blamed on a nearby lead mine. The Austin case was never really solved.

We suggest that you sit in your backyard, be quiet and listen. There just doesn't seem to be as many birds singing as there once was. The signs are very subtle at this point and scattered clusters of bird deaths aren't impressive enough to make national headlines. The canaries have entered the coal mine and they're not coming out.
