Hoth Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, weatherwiz said: We've been finding them not close to any windows. Animal Control mentioned the Avian flu...they also mentioned it's possible someone could be poisoning them. They directed me to Department of Agriculture so I left a message to call back. I guess depending on what we explain to them they may decide to send someone out and test the bird. Are they predatory birds or just regular sparrows? Sometimes poisoned mice end up poisoning carnivorous raptors further up the food chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was the issue last year with birds, but I just found another dead bird in my girlfriend's yard and this is the 6th or 7th dead bird over the past 6 weeks. They have been a mixture of babies and non-babies and some have even been missing heads. Not sure if some animal is getting them or not but it's a bit concerning. My girlfriend said she noticed 3 last year too. She does have a dog but we know it's not the dog b/c we watch him outside. I just called animal control and left a message. 13 minutes ago, Hoth said: Could be. Question: does your gf have large windows at her house? I've known birds to kill themselves by running into the glass, and on one occasion even lost its head. Isn’t that one of the signs of the apocalypse? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any cats roaming around. One thought is there is a nest which isn't terribly high up off the ground (7-8 feet at most) and some animal is getting into the nest. But the dead birds for the most part have been well away from the nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Looks like the line with the cold front goes through Providence around 6 AM. May head to Providence around 3 AM and hopefully there will be some decent lightning in the line as it nears Providence by then but idk. Elevated CAPE doesn't look terrible and HREF thunderstorm probs are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 hmm just looking at that radar loop. Rather intriguing. Looking at CC the values appear to be insanely low so it's certainly non-meteorological phenomena. It was a pretty uniform formation and propagation too...maybe a series of military planes?
