About 10 p.m. Friday, thousands of red-winged blackbirds began falling out of the sky over this town about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock.
Talk about a strange way to bring in the new years, huh?
One thing is almost certain: the bird drop is not related to the 83,000 fish that died a few days earlier in the western part of the state
I really do like the "almost certain" part, certainly leaves the doors open for all them conspiracy theorists out there.
