Dead Baby Birds
Twice now we've found dead baby birds on our driveway. And I do mean baby; They probably hadn't hatched yet. We find them with no signs of their shell, or anything else. The first was already dead. The second, poor thing, was still alive. We assumed there was nothing we could do; it didn't even have feathers.
What's going on? This doesn't seem to be cat behavior. What is taking the eggs and leaving baby birds on our driveway to die?

We've been having the same problem and my theory is that it's wind knocking them out.

Go to Julie Zickefoose's blog and ask her. She is totally the expert in bird rehabilitation.

Same thing here; baby birds on the sidewalk below Very-Tall-Tress. Very, very young new baby birds.
I figured it was ... what is that west nile, or bird flu, whichever. ? ?
