Of course.....and THANK YOU for making note of it.
This nonsense was reminding me of the media reaction to Three-Mile Island many years ago. After the "main event"....I had to put up with news headlines for years... about every trivial event that happened at every nuclear reactor in the country. It was THE event that taught me how the news media operates; and I've been disgusted with the news media ever since.
Take ANY event and then bank on it....people will find every similar event, no matter how trivially related and hammer us with "news" that's not really news.
That we haven't built a nuclear reactor in a gazillion years is because the news media poured gasoline on every nuclear triviality they could find...all in name of creating headlines. Most here probably aren't old enough to remember but it reached the point of sickening absurdity.
Crap happens to wildlife for a gazillion different reasons. THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
That a few blackbirds fall out of the sky is a CURIOSITY. It's not earth-shaking news.
As for 2 million fish dying in the Chesapeake Bay because the water is so cold....that's sad but such is the way of nature. And it pales in comparison to the 20 million that died in the winter of '76 when the Chesapeake Bay was REALLY cold.
And so on.....
