Index of Subjects Hi, The other morning on the way to work I hit a R-N Pheasant flying across the road close to home. It hit the grille of my SUV witth a terrific thump, and what was left of it carreened across the road and landed on the verge. Neither I nor my vehicle were damaged. A few years ago a colleague had his windshield smashed by a passing pheasant in the same spot. A few winters ago a colleague of my wife told her that a small bird had hit her car on the 101 between Halifax and Kentville at night, and she got out to check, and the bird was dead but in good condition inside her engine! She kept it and gave it to me for ID - it was a Saw-whet Owl - now property of the Acadia museum.
