That's less likely given the wide variety of species.

#4I've heard smoke inhalation cited as a possible cause for this, but it looks too early for a definitive explanation.

#5It feels like the earth is dying. I wonder if the human population has longer than 20 years of tolerable existence left on this planet.

#7“Climate crisis” is starting to become the laziest explanation for why anything unusual happens in this country. Are you telling me these birds never did their migration above forest fires? Tell us why it’s different.

The planet is fine. What would make you believe that, based on 5 billion years of geological history?

#9So far food scarcity looks like the most plausible explanation. Someone needs to get a massive campaign together in flyover zones to get people to scatter food for them. Assuming appropriate feed for these species is even widely available in those areas.
Probably too little too late in this case though... I guess we just update the wildfire documents to include care for migratory species and hope there's a next time

There's always a comment like this. How about "The habitability of this planet is dropping like a brick."
