As if I need another reason to hate those "Big Box Stores" and cities.

And to add to this:
Many species of birds can see in a multiple light spectrum - infrared and ultraviolet for instance - but the prey species lack the depth perception the predators have. So a snowy, icy, wet, foggy surface looks the same as a flat, open body of water to them. Without the depth perception to see the slight differences, a flat, open parking lot can look the same as a body of water in the dark, especially when you add the weather conditions like snow, fog and ice - which is what the article briefly suggested.
In addition to that, a normal, open desert field is full of sagebrush, tumbleweeds and low lying growth; it's anything but flat and open. The only places that occurs out here are in parking lots or other human-developed areas - parks, yards, etc. So... if people didn't pave over everything in creation and "landscape" every bit of nature they see, things like this wouldn't happen.

Thousands of birds died on impact after apparently mistaking a Wal-Mart parking lot and other areas of southern Utah for bodies of water and plummeting to the ground in what one wildlife expert called the worst downing she's ever seen.
