The NASA article itself explains a lot, then there are several links a the bottom of the page.
If you google "magnetic pole shift dead birds" or whatever, then a bunch of other relevant articles come up . . . the Florida flight pattern problem is directly related . . . I think someone posted a link to that in this forum.
The birds flight patterns are definitely related to the pole shift and you can read about that - the fish may be a whole 'nother problem, I really don't know.
I said this before. if it were fire works sky busters a type of hunter that shoot long before a bird is in range would be successfull hunters. If this were true no duck hunters would be unsuccessful ever.
No duck, goose, or upland birds I ever killed to eat, have once been turned to mush from the fall either. And in the times I missed the bird simply do what missed birds do and fly way.
A big BOOM does not drop birds.
However, a big boom, might scare 5000 birds into a "night" flight.
I can appreciate that birds are dieing all around the world. However, the first report of this is that in Arkansas '5000' birds took flight at midnight Dec 31, 2010, then began to drop dead out of the sky. One species. It was pitch dark out. What made them take off?
More than one species were sleeping...more than one species drank water from the Arkansas River where the fish died, but only one species dropped dead, with only a few of the other kinds. (starlings, ducks) And the birds were in flight at the time they died.
Birds don't just pick up and take off at dark 30, with out a good reason.

Reason: added title
Why only the one species was effected? It seems to me other types should have been found dead, as well.
I've had birds my whole life. Birds do suffer heart attacks much more easily than most mammals.
Birds fly in flocks. Those flocks tend to be of one species of bird. If the birds had been spooked by lightning or fireworks into flying and then there was a particularly large bolt of lightning or very large firework in the area, it's quite conceivable that many if not the entire flock could have been killed and it happens with relative frequency. These are creatures that weigh a few ounces each and have heart rates that are already are in the 1000bpm range when they're flying.
