What I find odd is the explanations offered seem so flawed. These birds do not fly at high alititude so the hail and un-noticed weather phenominon explanations seem rather daft.
Also they died before midnight fireworks.
Autopsy reports mention trauma to the birds which I would expect for anything that fell out of the sky.
Redwing black birds and starlings do not normally fly at night. Even so the "they became disoriented and crashed" explanation seems silly.
It just seems odd that improbably explanations are being offered so confidently. But that may be the fault of the media and their choice of sources.
I have seen natural die offs before but they were much much broader geographically.
I agree. The rush to offer implausible explanations is suspicious.
