Thousands of birds have been found dead in New Mexico and several other states in the United States, which is of great concern to biologists.
Professor Martha Desmond of the University of New Mexico told local media that the cause of the birds' mass deaths is unknown, but may be the result of fires or cold weather.
The number of dead birds may reach millions.
"It's awful. I don't think I've seen anything so awful in my life," said the professor, who works in the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Environmental Conservation.
According to the evidence, some of the birds, including tadpoles, swallowed, behaved strangely before they died.
Experts asked residents to report sightings of dead birds in favor of further research.
The Forest Service in the Santa Fe National Park asked for the public's help.
"Unexplained mortality of songbirds is causing great concern among biologists in New Mexico," the service said, asking people to gather information from birds they find.

A similar phenomenon has been reported in neighboring states in the southwestern United States, such as Colorado, Arizona and Texas.
According to estimates, the fire smoke may harm the health of the birds or force them to change their migration routes.
Prof Desmond said that the recent snowfalls in Colorado may also have had an impact on this.
Scientists have found that bird populations in North America have dropped dramatically in recent years.
