Glass bus shelter deathtrap at north end of Grand Army Plaza

My sister coming home from work this afternoon , found 5 dead HERMIT THRUSHES together in a line inside the all glass walled bus shelter at PLAZA STREET and VANDERBILT AVE , at the north apex of Grand Army Plaza. Apparently the five HETH might have been one flock that flew into the shelter interior and collided into the glass. This is dastardly.. I have to write to the MTA, but will they care ???

Regarding that nasty shelter here is that site on the google map
