Massive Fish and Blackbird Deaths in Arkansas

As midnight approached on New Years Eve 2010, Beebe, Arkansas experienced thousands of redwing blackbirds falling dead from the sky within a few minutes - for mysterious reasons. Tests are underway. Chem trails or sonic booms may be implicated but the US government probably won't admit it if they're the cause. We'll see.

Plus, a week earlier, an annual fish kill along a stretch of the Arkansas River turned out to be much larger than ever before - perhaps 100,000. What the hey is going on in Arkansas?



Magpie morwong and all the Dreamyfish here want answers and environmental improvements for 2011! Don't you?

Here is a video concerning mysterious deaths of birds and fish:

The sad situation of the Longhorn cowfish

New Scientist is reporting that Longhorn cowfish are in serious trouble, and all the Dreamyfish I know are very sad about the situation.

These worsening conditions affect other species as well so check out the NS article if you will.

Early marine biologist Rachel Carson

Her scientific work spurring President John F. Kennedy to create the EPA, pioneer environmentalist and marine biologist Rachel Carson was born May 27, 1907.

Even if you don't speak any astrologese at all, check out my post written in 2007 for the 100th anniversary of Carson's birth - and you'll find a link to radio's Living On Earth 's feature upon her for the anniversary, plus some personality details based on her natal chart's planets, and some links to her still-popular books including ecology's clarion call: Silent Spring.

US Fish & Wildlife Service's gag order

Imagine, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the very people charged with watching over the animals here in the U.S., writing a gag order for scientists on their staff. That's exactly what happened in late February, when Craig Perham and Janet E. Hohn received travel approval from their superiors with a big catch - don't talk about global warming or how it's affecting animal populations, especially polar bears.

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration continues to cover up the facts and cater to oil and coal companies. But it's time that it stopped.

Remove the gag orders, let the truth flow about global warming so that we can pass the Safe Climate Act and make real progress while we still have time.

Click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser to email the Fish and Wildlife Service, and ask them to stop censoring scientists. We need more discussion about global warming, not less.

And here's a new blog I found...an aquarium fish video blog Inside Aquarium which fairly rocks with product info and aquarium-related resources to help you keep your fish fit as fiddles!

New Mollusk Species Found in Philippines

Panglao Island, Philippines:

It may be true--appr 6,000 species of mollusks and over 1,200 species of decapod crustaceans--have been found and are in process of being studied to be positive that the novel critters are really new to science. The area was surveyed in 2005-05 by volunteers from 80 countries.

Don't know about you, but I'm as pleased as can be! Good work!
