Getting confused and flying into each other...sounds totally bizarre and I
don't buy it. I know they have sent many of the birds for autopsies....which
I think was starting today. Most of the deaths of that number that I have
heard of were from hail storms in the higher flight paths or from
poisoning...

I guess I'll wait for the autopsies...
