I always just thought my car made so much noise that the vibrations from my engine threw their retinas into chaos and couldnt see me.

Ive never hit a bird in my life… Rabbits on the other hand….

Poor Ernie. That car must’ve been fast. What a risky way to get into a club.

HELLO, I am a volunteer with the Whooping Crane Recovery Program. Go to operationmigration.org and click on the “in the field” link and you should find that a rich source for cartoon material. Not only that, if you would include our website it might help get us some publicity for our cause. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring migrating whooping cranes to the eastern U.S. The eastern flock (which currently has about 60 migrating birds)
is insurance against a catastrophic event (hurricane or bird disease) wiping out the only other migrating flock in the world. This (western) flock migrates between Aransas Texas and Canada and contains approximately 230 birds. This is up from a low of 15 birds in the world in 1941. We have established this eastern flock using ultralite aircraft to lead young chicks south from Wisconsin to Florida each Fall (Oct., Nov., Dec.) teaching them the route and they are then on their own to migrate back in the Spring. SURELY cranes led by Ultralites would make good source material for a cartoon strip such as yours. In fact, I believe I could produce a strip using them as source material alone (if I had a good illustrator such as yourself). The chicks for the Fall migration are being trained now at Necedah Wildlife Refuge in Necedah, Wisconsin and migration should start in early October. SO, whaddayasay–at least look at their website and
see what you think. Sincerely, Gerald Murphy jgmurphy@earthlink.net

Or maybe they just don’t perceive the car as a threat until it’s (almost?) too late? I know of at least one duck that got a rude shock that way: it was flying (slowly) across a road from a park to a river, and I was riding a motorbike. Daffy didn’t observe the Green Cross Code and, next thing it (and I) knew, the dumb-cluck was getting a sideways boost in flying speed, courtesy of my chest! I managed to keep my balance and the bird flew off, but it’s hard to say which of us was more startled by our encounter.

I’ve always figured they were just being lil’ daredevils, and this is right along those lines. It’s obvious with how they swoop down, then up, that they are doing it on purpose.
