[QUOTE="Rockhound, post: 4583520, member: 9875"] Until it happens again, then it won't be so isolated. I'm convinced 100%that something was spread in wayland springs (Mackey bottoms) as those fields no doubt fed More than half of southern Lawrence counties population in the early 2000's. I personally have seen over 300 birds in that bottom at once. Not counting other flocks that could be seen within a couple miles of there, that no doubt visited as well. What would keep those 500+/- birds from dispersing 5 miles in every direction and infecting every bird they crossed paths with and those secondary birds doing the same. A majority( 80%) of those 500+/- birds disappeared in 1 (one) year. Another 15% was gone the next year. 12 years later and we are starting to see an uptick in population I'm gonna say predators, floods, hunters, ect. have had a huge impact in the rebound, but they had 0% impact in what initially happened to our population [/QUOTE]
