Dozens of birds rained down from the sky over the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester on Thursday morning.
All of the birds ― either 47 or 48, depending on the report ― were grackles, a type of songbird. Thirty-three ultimately died, The Boston Herald reported.

Sometimes birds migrate, get lost, fly to exhaustion, can't find a food source and literally die on the wing searching.
Pesticides don't just kill pests. New research out of the Netherlands provides compelling evidence linking a widely used class of insecticides to population declines across 14 species of birds.

I would like to point something out....
The article refers to the grackle as a 'songbird'. All I have heard them emit is a croaking sound.
Here is an article about the grackle, including its penchant for killing songbirds.
