Wow. What a tragic accident. That's awful to read. I've worried about this very thing happening to me (I'm weird that way). But we have some freakishly brave birds in Minnesota. Just the other day two ducks were flying head first into on-coming 65mph freeway traffic just a few feet above us. I ducked (no pun intended, but I guess it's there) when they flew overhead on my motorcycle and checked my mirrors to see if the duck hit the moving truck behind me (which, of course, was a considerably taller vehicle on the road than me on my motorcycle). The duck didn't hit the moving truck behind me, but the event re-enforced my fear of this type of thing happening. Oy. I'm fascinated and fearful of birds all at the same time. Drives my wife nuts. "What's with you and birds?" she often says. LOL.
