OK, yes it’s old news that Britney Spears gave birth to a boy on September 14.
But did you know [cue X-Files theme] that by some weird coincidence (or fit of despair), nearly 400 songbirds in Madison, Wisconsin died that same night when they flew into guy wires holding up a television tower?
“There were birds all over the place,” said Steven Ugoretz, a DNR environmental specialist who works on tower-related issues.
Searchers found 172 birds around the base of the 1,100-foot tower. Crows, cats and other scavengers took another 200 or more, and Ugoretz estimates more birds likely died because no one searched a heavily wooded area just north of the tower.
Read the whole Associated Press article. Here’s a photo of the WMTV tower.
