Here's one you can file under "just plain odd".

While I was out mowing the yard tonight (5 June 2006), my next-door
neighbor called me over to show me a dead bird in his yard.  It was
well on the way toward decomposition but still clearly identifiable
as a KING RAIL.  The bird was lying under a south-facing window
and there's a fairly clear line-of-flight back down the ridgeline
so I suspect it was a window kill.
