Far from odd, it's a far-too-often occurrence at unmarked high-tensions lines where they cross water. Collisions are regular at Sandy Point, especially with flocks of Double-crested Cormorants, but few are as violent as today's. I also see Bald Eagles, Ospreys, and gulls hit. Most fly off, but I have seen cormorants killed or injured on multiple occasions, and have found everything from Ruddy Ducks to a Great Blue Heron dead below.
And I am only there on the clear days without fog or precipitation.
