A strange scene on the street of an Elmira neighborhood has some searching for an explanation.
On Saturday March 19, Ryan Keilman observed one dead bird on his lawn between the curb and the road on Davis Street in Elmira and thought nothing of it until he got a phone call from his mom who sounded concerned with the scene she saw while leaving his residence. Upon observing an unsettling scene of dozens of deceased animals just outside of his home, Keilman contacted multiple agencies to get answers.
"My mother, she stopped by when she was leaving she called me and said hey you need to come outside and I went out and she's like did you see all of these and originally I counted 21 but then I ended up double counting it was 25 dead birds," said Keilman.

Padang, West Sumatra
As much as 370 mm of rain was recorded in Padang in 24 hours between 21 and 22 March 2016. The heavy rain resulted in the Batang Arau river overflowing.
Three districts - Koto Tangah, Padang Utara and Padang Selatan - have been severely affected by floods. BNPB say that as many as 9 villages are under water up to 1 metre deep.
There have been no reports of casualties, although houses, schools and a bridge have been damaged.
Teams from emergency agencies are carrying out evacuations using inflatable boats. However, BNPB says that given the wide areas flooded, not all flood victims could be reached and estimate that there are hundreds who are trapped and not been evacuated, particularly in Koto Tangah district.

A MYSTERIOUS bolt of lightning fatally struck a female teacher and a Form One pupil at Chivata Secondary School in Zaka under Chief Nhema last week, a government official confirmed the incident yesterday.
The two have since been buried.
"We have received the shocking reports. One other teacher was also struck and admitted at Ndanga Hospital, but has since been discharged," Chitiga said.
A teacher at the school who requested anonymity said the incident had left them dumbfounded as there was no drop of rain that fell on the day save for a few clouds that formed and disappeared afterwards.
"She was handing fees receipts to pupils as we were about to end the day, while other pupils were doing general work. Suddenly, as she handed the pupil his receipt, a bolt of lightning struck from nowhere. There were just a few clouds," said a teacher who declined to be named.
Russia's Krasnodar Krai region has long been known for its benign climate. There's a natural spa that attracts tourist all year round.
But it can also get pretty windy.
Windy enough, in fact, to blow the roof right off the city registrar's office in the town of Labinsk.
A woman and a small child passing by had a worryingly narrow escape when the entire roof came crashing down, almost in one complete piece.
No-one has been reported harmed in the shocking incident.

An estimated 17,500 fish have died (pictured) in what is believed to be a naturally occurring fish kill in the Kimberly region, in Western Australia’s far north
The discovery of the dead fish may be linked to a culmination of environmental factors.
More than 37 different species of fish began washing up dead on beaches near Broome last Monday.
Higher than normal water temperatures coupled with warm weather and sustained onshore winds have been floated by the department as contributing factors.
Experts predict the deaths were contained to a localised area before the fish carcases were spread by strong tides.
The lightning struck them around 9:00am on Tuesday (March 22) while they were working at a salt field in the area.
One of deceased has been identified as Habib Ullah while the names of over victims could be known till filing the report.
Moheshkhali Thana officer-in-charge (OC) Didarul Ferdous confirmed the matter to banglanews.
Mongolia has been hit by a devastating natural phenomenon known as a "dzud", said the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) -- a hot summer drought followed by a severe winter.
The combination spells doom for livestock in a country where IFRC said a third of the thinly-spread population rely on animal husbandry for their livelihoods.
Goats, sheep and cows die en masse, unable to graze sufficiently in the warmer months to build up the reserves necessary to withstand later temperatures that regularly drop to -50 degrees Celsius.
More than 350,000 animals have already died, but more than a million deaths are expected, according to the latest available data from the UN mission in the country, IFRC said.
Roads across the city remain closed by downed trees and other debris that is obstructing thoroughfares.
eThekwini metro police spokesperson Sbonelo Mchunu said officers had had a busy night.
"We went to many accidents that were flood related and also had to deal with the closure of many roads because of the rising water levels.
It is the latest deadly attack by the wild elephant herd in the rural West Bengal area in the past few days.
The wild herd has been causing havoc in the Bardhaman and Bankura districts, where it has killed four villagers and injured two others this weekend.
Prakash Boyra, 40, died after one of the elephants threw him into the air with its trunk and then trampled him.
Images filmed by fellow villages show the man being flung into the air like a rag doll by the huge animal, who slams him back onto the floor as people look on horrified and helpless.
