birds will not make their annual trip this winter after a mysterious mass die-off that has alarmed biologists in the southwestern United States.Many different species of birds have been found dead in New Mexico in recent weeks, sparking concern among researchers at New Mexico State University’s department of fish, wildlife and conservation ecology.
Death Valley records one of the hottest temperatures in Earth’s history “It’s just terrible,” NMSU biologist Martha Desmond told CNN. “The number is in the six figures.
Just by looking at the scope of what we’re seeing, we know this is a very large event, hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions of dead birds, and we’re looking at the higher end of that.”Desmond first noticed the die-offs.
