I don't know about the type of gas ... or *IF* it involved a gas.  I 
talked to the North Little Rock weather bureau and they told me that the 
wind was out of the south until about midnight(30) when it turned out of 
the north.  We usually get the weather from  over there (in Arkansas) 
the next day or two at the most..Actually my wind tried to turn to the 
north about midnight on Jan1. I never had a peak wind speed of over 9 
MPH for the two days before and the north wind got here midnight on Jan 
1 and the wind was calm for at least four hours each day (31, and 1 to 
3) which might suggest a very light wind over there. There was a brief 
squall line passed through. It lasted all of about 30 minutes.... no 
significant wind.   Temperatures started around 30 degree F over there 
on the 28 and gradually moved up to low fifties by Jan 1.  We did get 
some rain ... about an inch. The streams are cold in that area and they 
catch a lot of trout. I would expect a higher than average oxygen 
content in streams and lakes at this time of year.

  I pulled a 5th wheel through Guy area in November and it is all up 
hill from Little Rock to almost Branson and the streams are incised.  
The News mentioned a dam and a stretch of water below this dam and to 
the area of Hartman, AR...I would expect this to be rather fast moving 
shallow water that didn't freeze. The lakes over here were frozen for 
over two weeks . There was one small fish kill in one lake when the ice 
cleared. That wouldn't explain the dead birds. Some of the birds I saw 
were red-winged black birds. This is a bird that likes to be around 
water but their food source would be berries and stuff away from water 
at this time of year.

The only thing I can say for sure.... there was a gentle upslope wind 
acting on the area at the time this happened. The general flow of 
surface water is west to east in this Guy area but there might be 
underground springs,
