I had a Baird owl fly into the door of our 79 Bronco. Gave the poor guy a heck of a concussion. Temporarily blinded. Took him to a rescue, he made a full recovery and I got to take him back to the accident site and let him go. He flew to a tree, sat and stared at me for a bit, then took off.

That's really cool. Did he watch you like this during transport?

Nope, he was unconscious for most of it. Was wrapped in a work shirt. He woke up and wasn't too happy. Luckily I was able to pull over and secure him before he got loose while I was driving.

My Bird-of-Prey pic. taken by yours truly. FYI...they don't like you playing in their nests

This Bird of Prey nests in our Christmas Tree every year.

What is your quest? I seek explore new worlds while upholding the Prime Directive.
What is the top velocity of a Bird of Prey? Romulan or Klingon?

But FAIL at Trek spelling... Jean-Luc

I have 4 5-month old kittens to play in our tree this year.

So all the old-skoolers know Lumber Jetta from years ago:

So the Mythbusters tested the myth that you can drive with over 3,000 lbs. loaded on the roof of a MKIII - and the results are worth watching.
