Dead birds shutdown Congress Ave in Austin

From 590 KLBJ News Radio Austin:

Congress Avenue between 11th Street and Cesar Chavez downtown is closed this morning as police and firefighters investigate the unusual deaths of about a dozen birds. The birds are lying in the middle of Congress avenue just a few blocks south of the Capitol. The entire street has been blocked off while crews take samples and try to determine what happened.

Yesterday in Plano, I saw a least 7-8 dead grackles in the parking lot at FedEx Kinko’s (US 75 and Plano Parkway). It looked like some punk had shoot them off the electrical lines overhead.

[Update: MYC Mayor Bloomberg: We are waiting for the gas to pass.]

Piranhas loose in Plano

From DallasNews.com Piranhas confiscated from Plano aquarium store:

Concerns have arisen that piranhas may be in the wrong hands in North Texas after game wardens found them being sold out of a Plano store.

While it is against the law to sell, possess or bring a piranha into Texas, a Texas game warden said owners in an East Plano aquarium store ordered 40 red-bellied piranhas from a Taiwanese distributor.
