How many of you have experienced a bird strike?


PA28-180. Nighttime cruise, approx 4000 AGL, I hit a bird. It
connected with the upper few inches of the windscreen and then hit the
OAT probe, which is about 2" from the top of the windscreen.

Scared the crap out of me, and left a nice feather/blood residue to
clean, but did not damage anything.
