| Subject: | RFI - birds during hail storms |
| From: | Trevor Hampel <> |

I have received a personal comment regarding a thunderstorm with heavy
hail west of Mildura on Tuesday 11/11/97.
It was reported to me that "crows and magpies were killed by the golf
ball sized hail".
Can anyone confirm this?
Questions: How do birds survive large hail storms?
Are there any studies on the mortality rates of birds
in storms?
