To all: Does anyone have an explanation for the unusually high numbers of dead grey raptor-like birds on the side of route 91 between Brattleboro and the Upper Valley? They look like small hawks, but making an firm ID is tough, given our speed and the condition of the bodies.  Is there some infectious disease that's making them slow and stupid? Any information would be very interesting. Thanks, Alex Medlicott Piermont, NH
