Well, the seagull was only a probable since I was driving the '59 MG at
the time and not going particularly fast (honest). It hit the headlight
and bounced down the side of the car, so I didn't actually run it over.
For all I know it may have got up and flew away.

Now one of the grouse, on the other hand, was spectacular. I was south
of Delta heading north to Fairbanks, and as I topped a hill there it was
in the middle of the road. I had just enough time to notice it before
it went under, and in my rear view mirror there was just this big
indistinguishible cloud of feathers. I'm just lucky it wasn't a caribou
or a moose. Roadkill in Alaska can be grizzly at times.

Came close to nailing a porcupine a couple summers ago, which normally
destroys the tire. Since I had a full load of fresh Copper River salmon (
read: extremely time sensitive shipment) worth more than the truck on
board at the time, I would not have been amused. His number, which was
11.00-R22 (goodyear unisteel), just wasn't up that night.

I got a chicken at 80 once. The weirdest part was cleaning the egg

2 grouse, 1 canada goose, numerous crows, and a seagull.

Gentlemen, I think we have a winner. Or dinner, perhaps, in the case
of
the goose...
