On Monday I was driving behind the Bellevue PO and I was almost in a head-on
crash with a raptor. At first it looked like a wayward pigeon coming down the
road.
It was flying a couple of feet above the pavement, coming at me about 500
miles an hour till it veered off after some pigeons or starlings. It was a
smallish raptor, maybe a Peregrine (?)

Anyhow, it was an eye-opener.
