Rain of 4,000 dead birds

NYT: "About 10 p.m. Friday, thousands of red-winged blackbirds began falling out of the sky over this town about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock. They landed on roofs, roads, front lawns and backyards, turning the ground nearly black and scaring anyone who happened to be outside."

A City Councilwoman remarked, "Looks like some sort of phenomenon happened"
