According to foreign media reports, in recent days, a large number of migratory bird deaths have occurred in New Mexico, USA. At present, there are expert groups to investigate, and some experts believe that it may be related to the sudden change in weather, but the cause cannot be determined.
A netizen photographed many dead birds on the ground in Villard, New Mexico. He wrote: "I have never seen anything like this, and I have heard that there have been huge numbers of migratory bird deaths in other states in the western United States. ”
The unexplained bird death has raised concerns among wildlife experts. Professor Martha Desmond, an expert on bird studies in New Mexico, said in an interview: "The migratory birds we have lost, if not millions, may be hundreds of thousands. Warblers, swallows and blue robins are the three most common of dead birds. Their numbers are dwindling dramatically, and it is devastating to happen now. ”
A panel of experts is working to find out why, and they believe that the early appearance of cold snaps is the biggest cause. Professor Desmond explains: "There was a heavy snowfall in Colorado and a sudden change in weather caused migratory birds to migrate early, but some unprepared birds died there. She also mentioned that wildfires raging in western Oregon and California may have altered the bird's migration route.
Experts urged the public to send them pictures of dead birds so they could get a fuller picture of what was really going on in the western United States.
