Mr. B and an article:

With New Year comes fireworks and  gun shots. It is a great way to celebrate the season and the holiday but what about the wildlife? In Beebe, Arkansas  this happened. Fireworks went off and terrified the red wing black birds. Many of them went flying from their roosts. They ended up flying into houses, trees and even each other. More than 100 red winged black birds lay dead on lawns and roads. Wildlife workers spent a good deal of New Year day  picking up the birds. The lesson we can learn from this is, be careful and contemplate surroundings.
