Wildlife experts are trying to solve an apocalyptic-type mystery: Why did nearly 3,000 red-winged blackbirds tumble from the Arkansas sky on New Year's Eve?

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens says the birds fell in an area about a mile long and a half-mile wide (1 1/2 kilometers long and 800 meters wide). The Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds about 11:30 p.m. the previous night.

The birds fell over a 1-mile (2-kilometer) area, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area


Falling birds likely died from massive trauma

Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the commission, said the birds showed evidence of trauma in the breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and a lot of internal bleeding. All major organs were normal.

He cited a preliminary report conducted by the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission.

"Further tests will be done to rule out other causes, but the birds suffered from acute physical trauma leading to internal hemorrhage and death. There was no sign of any chronic or infectious disease," the report said, according to the game and fish commission.

As of Saturday, between 4,000 and 5,000 birds had been found dead, said Stephens.

A state lawmaker wants to limit the amount paid to Arkansas circuit court clerks in fees from auctions of foreclosed properties.

State Rep. Eddie Cheatham, D-Crossett, vice chairman of the House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee, suggested a cap after learning of fees collected by two clerks in northwestern Arkansas.

"I'm fixing to make 75 men and ladies mad," Cheatham said of the clerks in Arkansas' 75 counties. "I'll be drafting a bill in the next few days about this."

Washington County Circuit Clerk Bette Stamps collected more than $104,000 last year, and Benton County Circuit Clerk Brenda DeShields could surpass that amount this year if a judge approves a fee from an auction last week.

State law allows the clerks to keep one-tenth of 1 percent of each foreclosure sales price as personal income.
