Dead birds all around.

Bird : Signs Book pg num. 7

As I have walked around many towns in America, I have often come across the bodies of dead birds. This has both fascinated and scared me. What killed the birds and why did I come across so many bodies? One day I decided to take photographs of the birds to document the event.

Miner birds used to be used in mines as indicators to the quality of the environment in the mine. If the bird died, miners knew they had to get out of the mine fast. I wonder if the dead birds I find are an indicator of some greater environmental issue?
