A Walmart parking lot in Cedar City, Utah was the site of mass carnage when thousands of birds crashed into the pavement Monday night, reports Brian Ahern at The Spectrum.
Wildlife officials believe that the flock of migrating Grebes, a duck-like aquatic bird, was confused by storm clouds that made the parking lot look like a flat body of water...

When parking lots are outlawed, only outlaws will have parking lots.
Can they eat them?
I love Wal-Martz....
From the picture, I couldn't see any way that parking lot looks different from the millions of others out there. I was thinking maybe it was painted blue or something.

they elected the wrong leader
These are divers (fish eaters) not good eating. Eat puddle ducks (grain eaters).
Trying to put human thought and awareness into a friggen duck. It is called projecting. Its a duck. No one can explain what they do.
That’s pretty funny. The parallels are raging right now.
Clean up in aisle 9.
Oh, too bad.
The anti-Walmart buzz in this morning’s stories has been toned down, as the birds were found to have crashed all over town. Storm conditions were probably to blame, rather than evil retail.
Interesting view into the media mind’s eye on how this was originally framed. What does the MSM have against Walmart? WM is the enabler of their Chicom buddies.

I’ve never seen a flock of birds land on a body of water hard enough to kill themselves if the water turned out to be pavement. They usually ground-effect in. What was this: The 30 MPH, Bill-First Landing?
It just doesn’t seem believable.
“Bird brained” is an insult indeed.

The reporter sure let me down I was sure that they would placed some of the blame on all the evil SUV’s parked there in the Walmart lot for some how engineering the carnage.
A much nobler save Bender.
Mmmmm... Roast Grebe
