It's the aliens!!! Most folks don't realize that "Predator" was a documentary filmed in my back yard.

You should really consider bringing in some landscapers.

They found another flock a few hundred miles south.

I'm so glad it's only 2011. This is getting creepy.

Sigh. On December 24th 2011 I hope the aliens will let me log in just to say "I told you so" to the Cellar.

Anyway, this bird thing, it's like the anti-Hitchcock. "Oh my GAWD the birds are coming. *splat splat splat* Oh, never mind."

Somebody has been peeing in the creek again:
VICTORIA — Horrified nature-lovers at Goldstream Provincial Park watched as the Goldstream River turned bright green late Wednesday afternoon. The fluorescent green colouring appeared to start about 500 metres on the Victoria side of the entrance to the park and, over the course of an hour, the substance flowed down into the environmentally sensitive estuary. By 5:30 p.m. the river, known for its dramatic salmon runs, eagles and other wildlife, was back to its normal colour. Ministry of Environment teams were immediately sent to the area to investigate and members of Langford Fire Department collected samples for analysis.

The followup story says they figured out it was something called Fluorescein, which is not very harmful and was used several years in the 60s to color the rivers green in Chicago on St. Patty's Day.

They were still dyeing the river green for St. Patrick's Day at least as late as 1998. I guess they use something else now?

Yeah the Wikipedia entry says

That's pretty dramatic.

It's used routinely by Public Health type people to follow water being
flushed down a toilet to find leaks and septic tanks that are not working properly.

The fluorescein gives off a green color under artificial or natural UV light,
so daylight conditions make if particularly visible.

Of course, kids like to play pranks too.

And Now Sweden....
 

They're reporting 8,000 doves have died in Italy.

Here is a Google map with a link to all the mass animal deaths reported in just the last three weeks. Each location is linked to the news story about the animal death.

I don't know what this is, but it seems pretty safe to say it isn't fireworks or random hailstorms.

It's End Times~!
