Flying right at my face height, in the center of the left lane (I was in center lane) staring at me...stare back at it.

This lasted about a mile and by the time the hilarity wore off, I didn't get the I-Phone going quick enough to record it.
I've had birds do that on ski lifts and bike trails, but never a car - (unless I wasn't paying attention). It's very cool, they'll look right at you and never appear to look ahead!

Crazy birds!
