Once a few years ago I almost hit a sharpie with my car. The hawk was in
such hot pursuit (1 foot off the fringillid's tail) that common sense had
totally left it. The birds flew across one street 1 foot off the ground
and about the same distance off my bumper in front of me, between two
houses, across the other street and were still going 1 foot apart when
they went around another house and out of sight. No results to report.
