State looking into bird deaths

SOCIAL CIRCLE - State and federal authorities are continuing to investigate the death of more than 3,200 birds in Bartow County. <br> <br> Wildlife officials are considering filing charges after the birds were found in a homeowner&#39;s yard and on a nearby farm. <br> <br> Officials say the birds likely ate a chemical sprayed on corn to ward off annoying animals. <br> <br> The birds were found in the town of White on January 21st. Hundreds more - including ducks, geese, red-winged blackbirds and hawks - were found Wednesday on a nearby farm. <br> <br> Federal officials are involved because the bird deaths include migratory birds and because a pesticide may have been misused. <br> <br> No arrests have been made.
