Dead blackbirds fall again in Ark. town

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Thousands of dead blackbirds rained down on a town in central Arkansas last New Year’s Eve after revelers set off fireworks that spooked them from their roost, and officials were reporting a similar occurrence Saturday as 2012 approached.

Police in Beebe said dozens of blackbirds had fallen dead, prompting officers to ban residents from shooting fireworks Saturday night. It wasn’t immediately clear if fireworks were again to blame, but authorities weren’t taking a chance.

What about 4th of July? 
Why does this only seem to happen on New Years?
No birds in July?

They're snowbirds.  They leave during the summer months.   Bumpurr1
