Over the last month, thousands of dead birds have rained down on Esperance, Australia and nobody knows why. Quite a few species--including wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters, crows, hawks, and pigeons--have all turned up by the dozens dead in residents' yards.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

I would suspect that the "missing link" in this story (it's mentioned briefly at the end) is that at that time, the whole area around Esperance was hit by what was called a "superstorm" - a once in a generation event - caused by the combination of a tropical cyclone from the north, and an Antartic storm from the south. They might not know what specifically killed the birds, but it's a fair bet that the storm had something to do with it.
I'm not sure the storm explanation works. This isn't an isolated event -- merely the latest.
Of course, it wouldn't be too surprising to discover that "once in a generation" storms are happening regularly now.
Something like this just happened in Austin, TX as well.

I have a creepy feeling we're going to see more of it. Whatever "it" is...
