WOW, I have not seen that before, just not the birds day.

I had a hawk fly into the side of my truck while going down I65 about 1 year ago.  It was just south of the Franklin exit where those sound walls are.  It was gliding and went next to the wall and just took a hard right into my truck.  Scared the crap out of me.

 That is crazy, but you have a cool dream catcher now!

They get so focused on their prey that they don't see anything else.  Target fixation at its finest.

It's against the law to possess raptor feathers without a permit. Hawks, owls, falcons, eagles, etc.

That's pretty impressive

 

When I was in my early twenties I had a turkey fly across the road in front of me. I hit that thing doing about 50, smack dab in the middle of my windshield. I had glass stuck in my knuckles from where the glass exploded, it sounded like a gun going off in front of me. I ended up pulling the old Ace Ventura driving method to get home. I got my roommate and we went looking for the thing so we could have a turkey dinner, never found it. I wish I still had those pictures.

It was a joke.

Something similar happened to me years ago. I was driving home at night after work when a spotted owl (in Washington) hit the lumber rack on my pickup and ended up dead in the bed. I wanted to have it mounted, but no taxidermist would touch it, of course.

Bet he doesn’t have the guts to try that again

We had  a black vulture fly into the grill of my wife's Cadillac XT5 just last month. It punched a 6" hole in the grill. Cost it $2,000 for the repair next week.

He almost pulled it off, he passed from L to R, the last second, he opened up it's wings and caught my antenna then a quick 90 straight into my mirror. 

I feel lucky on my way to Murfreesboro I counted 7 dead deer on I24 and 6 on my back home, someone(s) had a bad day.

I hit a chicken on a motorcycle years ago. I was riding and the chicken was crossing the road but I don’t know why.
