One was a nocturnal bird on descent at 2am. Loud bang, but just a small crack on the inside of the windshield curve of a C-150.?

The second was a Swanson's Hawk that did not make it out of the way of my landing flare and is now mounted by my front window.

Several other close encounters with hawks, eagles, vultures and sea gulls.
