Can confirm. These Starlings have been dropping in my area since long before this. Before the 2020 election even. I always figured they created a virus to cull the population. And that was the avian flu.
Yes but the die offs usually happen in late spring/early summer. I used to work for Louisville health department. My job was to basically collect dead birds and set mosquito traps and send them in for testing. Normal die offs are actually from mosquitos carrying encephalitis and infecting birds. But panels were always run for avian flu and west Nile. I also monitored horse farms. A die off this early is cause for concern.

Could the current weather be playing a factor? Not sure what it is down there but the Northeast feels like April the last couple of days.
