The ones I have encountered ( red winged black birds just for the visual ) there was no doubt many of them were effected by some form of blunt force trauma, almost like they had run into something. Not to mention many of them among the dead, were not dead but severely injured, on the brink of death. My sister was concerned because she literally saw some "twitching"..what else was odd to me was the appearance of some of them having been smashed, not sure if that was from the initial impact of what has killed them or from hitting the ground so hard from the fall. Broken necks, etc. There was around 5,000 in my state alone.
As for their eyes, they were black and mostly shut. So I am not sure if the characteristics of their eyes match the starlings. I will say one thing that's for sure, it was extremely weird seeing the mass of dead birds, and how far they were scattered, yet so close together. Seeing those birds everyday in my area, then seeing them dead in such an odd way still makes me wonder.

There's only one thing that could of caused this, FIREWORKS.
My talk is done here.
Meanwhile, a man who lives along Boyd’s Creek highway says he saw the birds get struck by a car. Harold Truitt said he was looking out at the road when he saw a large flock of birds swooping down in front of his house. “I was sitting in my den and just happened to look at the window and saw there was birds,” he said. “It looked dark there were so many swirling around out there, and a car ran right through them. “It was a white car and you could hear the birds hitting it.” The car kept going, he said, but when he went outside he saw the bodies along the road and on the ground alongside it. The rest of the flock flew away as soon as the car went through them, he said.
