Bird hit our window pic

Yes the window is dirty...I think it was a mourning dove--literally scared the crap out of it.

Doesn't count unless you get to keep the bird

Cool picture!

A hawk hit our window a few days ago. It's the only bird I've seen take that big a hit, jump up on pool chair, get his wits for less than a minute and fly off. Man, what an impressive bird. My wife was still pulling out a camera when it took off.

I had a Merlin Falcon hit my front window a few years ago...
Mothers day, snow on the ground (hey, it is Canada after all) it was stunned and cold in the snow. I got one of my welding gloves from the garage and had it on my hand for about 30 minutes until it warmed up and took off....
Totally cool little raptor!

I was going about 100mph in a friends VW Jetta one summer day with the sun roof open. Hit a bird and the little bugger ended up in the back seat!

What do you do if a bird craps on your windsheild?

Just don't take her out again.

If the bird is bigger they just make a hole - and a big mess on the inside.

Try hitting a 4lb bird going 630 mph, that was scary.
