i almost hit a mourning dove several days ago. i was driving along the parkway, and it flew in front of the car. i had enough notice that i slowed down, but i certainly couldn't slam on my brakes due to traffic. the bird was at windshield level when our paths intersected. it tumbled, head over tail, up my windshield without actually connecting, and presumably recovered and flew off (i didn't see any carnage in the rear-view mirror).

a similar incident occurred a few days later. a sparrow darted in front of my car. i had no warning, so i couldn't slow. i didn't feel or hear any impact, but i also haven't looked at the front of my car. i'm sure it made it out ok.
