........What do you think????  If, for some reason, the power lines
experienced a large "spike" of energy-current flow at the time the
birds were nearby, David's question makes a great deal of sense......  
Such energy-current "spikes" can be caused by a surge of energy
"demand" on the line or by the weather - in some cases....

That is one of the very same scenarios that has made me wonder about
the cause of childhood leukemia (and other conditions) alongside
power lines.....  Most researchers have "assumed" that it takes
prolonged exposure to produce such bioeffects -- but, in fact, we
really don't know.....

Cheerio....

I just wanted to throw this out there, I found it quite interesting.
At the time this occurrence seemed to be a real mystery but after
learning more about EMF and becoming a part of this discussion group
this makes sense to me. 

A few weeks ago in the area of Bowie, Maryland on route 50 a large
flock of Starlings was found dead covering the two lane freeway.
Unfortunately, I was one of the many thousand commuters in traffic
that backed up for almost 20 miles. 

The first explanation given was that the birds possibly had the
West Nile virus found in New York and parts of Maryland known to kill
many birds.  (A very stupid explanation-  they actually thought a whole
flock of birds would just drop dead all at the same time onto the
freeway?!)  

After taking the birds to a lab for tests the cause of death was
"blunt force trauma."  Officials stated that the birds cause of death
was striking automobiles.  Of course no one mentioned the fact that
there are two very large sets of power lines crossing the freeway in
the very near vicinity where these birds somehow flew right into
traffic. I don't know much about the different types of lines, but I
can tell you that when you drive under these lines all radio and
cellular reception is lost. 

Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but I find it strange that a giant
flock of Starlings would just inadvertently fly into oncoming cars
for no reason.  What do you think?
