Several years ago, volunteers witnessed a slow-motion slaughter at the Morgan mail processing center in Chelsea, where more than 300 dead [migratory] birds were discovered in 2006 alone. (A row of London plane trees, reflected in the mirror-like, south-facing facade, was luring the birds to their death.)
