Any guesses as to the reason.
 

fla1976 has the ACME company let you down to many times trying to catch your bird? Now your soliciting help? Remember most of these are red wing blackbirds not roadrunners. Just screwing off. Not sure seems there are birds dropping everywhere though.

could it be more far reaching effects from that failed drilling and capping and the emulsifing agents they pumped into the ocean?

All at the same time I doubt it, but IDK. I saw a news clip the other day and a guy said this happens all the time we just noticed it lately. Not sure 'bout you guys but I think it would be hard to miss if it happend in my little town "all the time".

ACME Rules!
