I suspect a flock of starlings were foraging along the roadside and a large truck came by and sucked them into its wake vortex. It happens every now and then.

Birders,
This was asked on a neighborhood list serve. It’s legit. Can you address it?
Hello neighbors, there's a section on West Dryden Rd, closer to Freeville, where there are a lot of dead birds in the road, like a dozen or more. Any ideas what happened? I'm quite upset by it.
