Just read the pages. Since this fall had some of those "hammer stones" some
people are so obsessed with, I'm suprised that hasn't had comments, yet. Sounds
like a Pultusk-like event-- lots and lots of small stones.

BTW, the birds? Rhea. Only 3 types of giant flightless birds around now
(though there were many more that became extinct in the last few thousand years
thanks to humans). Rheas in South America, Emus in Australia, and Ostriches in
Africa. I'd say that the chances are high that some of those meteorites will
end up inside some of those birds.
