1. And I suppose they were all caused by "fireworks" or "lightning".
Yeah, riiiight.

Birds, fish, bats, bees. Seems like there's a lot of effort being put in to write them off as "natural" events. Maybe to prevent a panic. Kinda like all that oil in the Gulf just disappeared. Riiiight, again.

18. To see fifteen years of records of wildlife mortality events see this link
National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) produces quarterly mortality reports, containing information about wildlife mortality events throughout the United States and on occasion across North America

These reports are compiled from a database of wildlife mortality events maintained at NWHC. Data are gathered by Field Investigations Team personnel from collaborations across the country, at the federal, state and local levels. Information is most complete from 1975 on, but some data are available from earlier years.

http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov/publications/quarterly_reports/index.jsp


I don't have the time or ability to turn these reports into any kind of statistical analysis of the number, type or frequency of wildlife die offs, but odd mass die offs do happen and apparently up until this year far more often than I ever realized.

5. Most are in the US, and most in the east.
Hmmmm - hope someone does some correlation studies.

7. Almost appears to be from BP site and their poisons and then drifting around
the middle of the planet. This makes me sick.

9. I'd like to see wind patterns and ocean currents superimposed on that chart
We might be able to see the origin if indeed these are all linked.

10. I was just going to suggest something like that...
In North America at least, that line running from TX up through the Hudson Bay looks like it follows the curve of the Southern edge of the Jet Stream (excepting the higher elevations of the Appalachian Mountains) all the way to the east coast.....wondering if could be atmospheric in origin?
The Legal Disclaimer here is that I am in NO WAY a qualified scientist, so any here that are, please feel free to rip this to shreds, my feelings won't be hurt, I promise.

14. Ocean currents and wind patterns....
Could that be connected to the magnetic field polar shift that's taking place? I'm going to do some research when I get off from work.

17. I wonder if this is some kind of hardwired response to climate change.
Something that reduces populations of species in order that the rest have an easier time surviving in a radically different, and more harsh, environment...

Or, maybe it is the harbinger of a magnetic pole shift?
