Birds Fly at Night

I hit a Mallard Duck at 12,000ft., IMC in a DC-3 while picking up light rime ice.

Being warm bodied, I guess the Duck wasn't worried about the icing. He had hot wings; all I had were boots and prop alcohol that I could smell when it was on.

Feet and feathers in the right windshield wiper were the identifying parts.
