Thousands of dead birds on Georgian Bay, Canada.
 Calgary.ctv.ca:  The Ministry of Natural Resources is investigating after hundreds of birds and fish washed up on the shores of Georgian Bay near Wasaga Beach, Canada.  Police say that the wildlife is scattered along a nearby three kilometer stretch north of Wasaga Beach.  "You just want to cry" resident Faye Ego told CTV Toronto.  Locals said they noticed some dead fish on the beach a few weeks ago and a few dead birds earlier in September.  "But now this is just multiplied," Ego said, adding that the situation is "absolutely devastating."  Ontario Provincial Police Constable Peter Leone said that the number of dead birds is estimated to be between 5,000 - 6,000.  Cindy Parkin, a resident of the area, said that answers are needed.  "I'd like to get it cleaned up and figure out what it is too," Parkin said.  "It's pretty scary."  Ministry of Natural Resources officials said that the deaths could be the result of botulism.  Botulism thrives in low oxygen environments often found in zebra mussel colonies.  The Ministry said that more testing needs to be done.  

Commentary:  Whatever the many reasons are for the mass bird an fish deaths since last year, the Word of God tells us thousands of years ago that this would happen in these last days, before the coming of the Lord, "The land will mourn and everyone that dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven, and the fishes of the will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.   Google interactive map showing mass animal deaths (only since 1/5/11 - there are so many more!).
