Around here, when it rains really hard and there is standing water on the ground, the earthworms start to drown. They come out of their borrows and try to find higher ground. Trouble is, they either drowned or can't find their burrows again. So after a big rain there are all these dead worms all over the place. More than what the birds can gobble up in a week.
