PHILLIPS: A minivan does some major damage in a smash and grab robbery that's caught on tape. Vancouver, Washington tops our look at Cross Country this morning. Police reviewing the surveillance tape of a local bowling alley hit by a pair of robbers who used a minivan to heist an automated teller machine out of the lobby. The owner says the damages to his business, far more than the cash that was taken from that ATM.
Firefighters in New Jersey got an early start to their workday, about 1:30 this morning. Condominium complex under construction went up in flames. No injuries reported.
Commuter traffic this morning in southern California has improved immensely since yesterday. Sunday's rain and snow helped close Interstate 5 and other roadways, leaving some motorists to spend hours, if not the night, freezing in their vehicles. As the weather improved, roads were finally reopened.
Well, we can't stop talking about the great dead bird caper of 2011. The mystery thickens. Several hundred dead red-winged black birds, starlings, sparrows, and grackles have now turned up in Louisiana near Baton Rouge. It's not clear what killed them just yet.
So far, no one will say this bird kill is related or linked to one just 360 miles north of Beebe, Arkansas. But the similarities are right there. Up to 5,000 of the same types of birds pretty much fell out of the sky over the weekend in Beebe. It's not clear just yet what killed them, either. Early reports say that massive trauma, not disease. But people in the town aren't buying some of the theories. Here's CNN's Ed Lavandera.
