What's happening to the birds and fish?

We are being told by authorities in government and the media that the worldwide occurrences of bird and fish die offs are normal, however I feel that they are worrisome to say the least: I can’t believe so many deaths in so short a period can be normal. Especially when the reasons that have been provided by experts in several of these cases just sound incredibly weak. Birds flying too high, fireworks, water too cold, water too warm, etc.

Not included in this list is the recent incident of 200 cattle dying in Wisconsin. In that case, veterinarians attributed their demise to a pathogen causing pneumonia, killing them over a period of three days, probably so if they were being raised in a feedlot. None-the-less, it may be worthwhile to keep our eyes open on this.

This is a global phenomenon and I fear it’s not over yet.

The current list:
1.
-70 Mexican Free-tailed bats found dead on a walking path underneath a bridge in Tucson, Arizona. Officials claim that these bats should have migrated to Mexico.
-500 Dead penguins in New Zealand, has been going on since beginning of December.
-150 tons of red tilapia found dead in Vietnam on 41 separate river farms.
-100 pelicans die in North Carolina. (occurred on different days in December)
2. Friday, December 31st, 2010:-5,000 dead red-winged blackbirds fall from the sky in a square-mile area in Beebe, Arkansas.
3. Saturday, January 1st, 2011: -100,000 dead drum fish washed up along the shore of the Arkansas River.
4. Monday, January 3rd, 2011: -500 more birds in a square-mile stretch along a highway in Labarre, Louisiana.
5. Tuesday, January 4th, 2011:-100 shad fish dead, supposedly of a temperature shock, in Ontario, Canada.
6. Wednesday, January 5th, 2011: -2,000,000 juvenile spot fish, dead, along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.
-100 jackdaws found dead in the Falkoping, Sweden.
-100 snapperfish found mysteriously dead, many with missing eyes, along a beach in New Zealand. Officials claim fish died of cold, but residents say the fish looked fat and healthy.
-40,000 'devil' (velvet) swimming crabs found dead on a beach in the UK. And among that, there's dead lobster, anemone, starfish, sponges, etc.
7. Friday, January 7th, 2011:- 8,000 turtle doves fall from the sky in Faenza, Italy. Mysteriously, these birds have blue stains on their beaks. Lab tests show the stain was either caused by poisoning or high-altitude flying causing a lack of oxygen called hypoxia.
-100 dead starfish washed ashore on Folly Beach, South Carolina.
8. Saturday, January 8th, 2011:-100 birds found dead, clustered on the ground in Sonoma County, California.
9. Tuesday, January 11th, 2011:- 1000+ gizzard shad, dead along a Chicago lakefront within a 5 inch range, being eaten by Canada geese and mallard ducks. Experts claim it is bizarre and abnormal, because Canada geese and mallard ducks don't usually eat fish-so why dead ones. An expert also claims that both of these animals are, however, "opportunistic".

As of January 11th, 2011: OVER 2,155,570 animals have died, mysteriously, in a matter of 12 days! Surely, this is cause for concern.
