Slightly different--when we lived in western Mass about 35 years ago during a high wind 20+~ robins hit the side of our garage and died. I was devastated. Haven't seen a mass kill like that since.

--In response to Anne Williams of Lewiston concerning waxwings running into windows......I've seen this happen more than once, and there's always more than one bird. I'm not certain of the circumstances in the incident you recalled in Lewiston, but I suspect it's just because waxwings fly so fast, and usually in groups, that they so often crash into windows. In both the cases I've seen the window was on a second story building and had no "warnings" of any sort for flying birds.BABBruce Bartrug
