We are the Bird Poachers Anonymous. If you want to see this bird in the wild again, wire $10 million into my account. You have 1 hour to comply or its feathers will adorn my hat.

What predator are they defending against? A toxin such as this seems specialized for one specific predator. A biological arms race between two species leaves all others in the dust -

In my opinion, the birds aren't behaving in a way consistent with toxic fumes or electrocution, not that I've seen how birds behave when they do. They don't look like their falling, they look like they are flying. They look lucid/alert enough to detect that something is wrong as the first birds hit the ground and take corrective action. I suppose toxic fumes or electrocution could have affected the front birds causing them to fall and the birds behind them followed after trying to keep the flock together, trying to stick with the 'murmuration' (not sure what the term would be for these guys) -

Strange. My guess it was a magnetic field anomaly. -

I lived there from 2014-2017 attending FIT. Also, I only saw one living armadillo while living there and many squashed ones. My wife didn't see any -

Their heads are all parallel to the ground regardless of body position. Very interesting

These remind me of an experience I had working in Snelling, CA. I was driving up a driveway. The owner had just bailed and stacked hay for transport. As I drove past the stack I hit the brakes and backed up. Poking between the bales of hay near the ground was a pig head staring at me, dead and dripping with a fly cloud. Not sure what happened. It didn't look like it got caught in the baler, more like it got stuck between the bales; perhaps when they were getting stacked or it pushed its way in and got stuck -
