I was driving home to Northern, VA from MD last night when I hit two birds in flight.
In my 20 years of driving, this was the first time I have ever hit birds...not to mention birds in flight. (I don't have any good encounters with wildlife. Two years ago, I hit a 8 point buck coming home from work one night.)
It was the strangest thing. I was driving through Poolesville, MD (a small town with a lot of mature trees) when two birds flew down from a tree directly in front of us. I didn't even get the chance to hit the brakes before I heard a thump from the front.
I pulled over and didn't see any damage to the hood or front facia. I can only guess that they hit the front license plate.
Has anyone else ever hit birds?(dunno)
