dead birds
On the 25 of February the Mexican newspaper El Sol de Parral (The Sun of Parral) reported the somewhat mysterious sudden death of what appear to be hundreds of Yellow-headed Blackbirds (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus) in the city of Parrel in Chihuahua, Mexico.

What can be gleaned from extracts of the story via Google translation is that hundreds of dead and dying birds were found on several roads and in a local municipal park. It seems that witnesses claim to have seen the birds falling from the sky. Some were noted to have blood in their beaks while others had been run over by vehicles (presumably already dead or dying).

These two eagles were rescued by Rebecca Weaver and her daughter along the Susquehanna River bank near Bloomsburg on Sunday, Feb. 25.
Two bald eagles were saved along the Susquehanna River bank near Bloomsburg on Sunday thanks to a concerned citizen.

Rebecca Weaver, from Almedia, said her daughter Alyssa heard a strange screeching sound when she was outside. Weaver and Alyssa found the two birds locked together, shivering from the cold water.

Weaver said Scott Township Police came to the property under the impression that they were supposed to collect two dead birds. When police realized the birds were alive, Columbia County Game Warden Rick Deiterich was dispatched.

"The eagles were likely fighting in the sky over territory and dropped to the ground near the river where they continued their battle," said Deiterich in a Pennsylvania Game Commission Facebook post. "They seem to have tumbled into the water and would not, or could not, let go of their grip on one another."

In a shocking incident, a nine-year-old boy has been mauled to death by street dog in northern Andhra Pradesh.

The victim, identified as R Jaswanth, was rushed to the hospital, but succumbed to injuries on the way. He was a Class III student in the government school in his village. He was a resident of the Ammapalli village near Balijipeta, about 150 km north of Visakhapatnam.

Jaswant was reportedly going to a farm in his village when the attack happened, news agency ANI reported. It is not clear what caused the dog to attack the boy.

Stray dogs have been reported as a menace from different parts of the country in recent years. The issue has been an especially hot-button topic in Kerala. In that state alone, the number of reported cases of people bitten by stray dogs was a whopping 53,000. In May last year, a 50-year-old fisherman succumbed to his injuries after being mauled by a pack of stray dogs in Trivandrum's Pulluvila. Prior to that, a 75-year-old man was found dead after being allegedly attacked by a pack of stray dogs in Kerala's Attingal.

Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne here.

Over the years we've all heard the dire predictions of snow becoming a thing of the past and that especially in the Alps the ski industry would in large part disappear. Warmer temperatures would put an end to snow as we know it.

Yet an analysis of the data tells a very different story, according to Austrian ski industry researcher Günther Aigner in a video presentation dubbed: Will the Arlberg see snow disappear? An analysis of historical temperature and snow datasets:

In the video Aigner shows what's going on concerning winters in the Alps. He begins by presenting some predictions of disappearing snow made by renowned scientists such David Viner and Mojib Latif. Other scientists such as Andreas Reiter, a future studies researcher, predicted Tirol would soon become mostly just a wine region. Other scientists made even more absurd predictions, Aigner shows.

Frosts in Belarus are breaking records
The temperature record of the current winter is beaten in Belarus - according to the data of the Republican Center for Hydrometeorology, Control of Radioactive Contamination and Environmental Monitoring in Klichev, a temperature of -30.4 ° C was recorded last night.

Frosts came to Belarus in the middle of last week: in some places the night air temperatures approached the -30 ° C mark. The weather forecasters explained the cooling by the so-called ultrapolar invasion - the arrival of cold air masses to Belarus from the Arctic.
