How nice Lola, to have a friend like Bob. Thank you!

Hi Lola
Thanks for telling us. I really like it. It's a small world.
And I'm wondering if Lotte, Kerwins friend, who is studying in Davis will know Robert Meese, I will ask if she will say hi to him from you

There are now 50 dead birds in Falkoping, Sweden. It are all Jackdaws.
What's happening?
I don't like this.

I love Red Wing Blackbirds, When they come home I know spring is really here. I hope it wasn't any of the ones that nest here. 

I was thinking the same thing. We have a few pairs that nest in the marshy area on the other side of the street.  Hope they're safe.   

Every Spring, the dad's will bring their young to my feeder.  I love watching them.

Hi Aafke,
That would be nice if Kerwin's friend would say hi for me.
Thank you very much.

My sister just sent me this newspaper article, it's in Dutch but it's telling that in a neighborhood in The Hague there are falling birds from the sky. It's happening since a few months, they don't fly to a building orso because they have no broken parts.
It's even more scarier now it's around my corner.

Oh boy, now it's worldwide!! Not good!

I may have missed this on the Forum in recent days - but did anyone report about an incident of multiple bird deaths in Finland?

I can't take no more! What is going on? 

[Aafke]

Hi Bobbie
No I didn't read about dead birds in Finland but I wrote about dead birds in Sweden. (Almost the same )

Can you remember the vulcany on Island, maybe it is possible that there are pieces in the air with dangereous gasses and they are spread worldwide.

Sorry about my poor geography, Aafke! I will look again for that piece.

And the volcano in Iceland? Goodness, who knows! I could be something like that! Whatever the reason, there is obviously a problem somewhere.

[Bobbie Ireland]

Right you are, Aafke... I found that link, and it was Sweden.
