Hit one right above my visor last year, running 90+. The guy behind me said that it looked just like that video of the bird that flies between the mound and home and gets hit with the baseball. A puff of feathers and that was it. Had all kinds of gore on my bucket made worse because I didn't stop for another 2 hours and it was stuck on.

I've hit several birds before, all in airplanes though. One of the most notable was back in the early 80's, I was flying a Commuter Airliner into Knoxville, Tn... coming down a 10 mile final on a beautiful clear morning at about 230 knots indicated, when all of a sudden a Red Tailed hawk dove into my windscreen. Both of us (pilots) ducked and when it hit it sounded like a 12 ga shotgun going off. The windscreen stayed intact (it was around two inches thick) but completely shaddered. That thing would have taken a pilot out if it had come through......... whew! I also hit a wasp when I was a teenager on my Suzuki 550 going to work one summer morning........ stung me right in the chest and I had a mild reaction to it. Hurt like H..., thought I was going to need benedryl for that one. Stuff hurts when it hits you!
