Ok, back to story.  I'm at about 80mph or so.  All of a sudden on the side of the road - a bunch of BIG birds take off and start across the road in front of me.  Had only a second until I reached them and went left a bit to avoid one in the face, barely had a chance to slow down even to 70mph, and then BAM - nailed one of them.  He went through my windshield, busting it, and slammed into my right side of my chest and off my shoulder.

Felt like a punch from Mike Tyson.

Buddy thought the bird went through my faceshield, but luckily not.
We turned around and found the bird still alive.

I strapped him to my bike and figured I'd take him home and either try to heal him or put him out if his misery.
He dripped blood on my bike on the way home:
