suasdaguna....... sounds like you are a cold hearted murderer.
Not once did you mention the poor orphaned chicks left all alone in the nest to fend for themselves with winter and christmas around the corner.
Hopefully the poor bird just picked up a flesh wound when it hit, thankfully it didnt fly into the engine (curtains I guess).
I never knew birds flew in IMC, amazing animals really!
Hey was the blood warm? Could have been a bat! Havent they got radar? That could explain the night IMC flying.
