An eagle?????

[phelonyproducts]

I think you would have known if you hit an eagle; they're pretty damn big. Did you go back and get it off the road or anything? I figured you had stopped. ;-)

this was a big bird. I only got a glimps because it happened so fast but I would say it was slightly bigger than a seagul. Frank was telling me washington hawks are little bigger than pigions. I have no clue because we had red tail hawks in AZ and they are very small and occasional bald eagles and they are very big. this was not the size of a bald eagle I assumed with the brown coloring it was a hawk. and no i didn't stop. what could I have done. get bit by a bird of prey? not to mension it was kinda heavy trafic behind me.. this bird could not have survived this, no way.

Damn, no I bet not. Well it remains a mystery, but I wouldn't worry your pretty head about it. ;-)

A WA red-tailed hawk or golden eagle you'd know it you'd hit one. They're about 3' tall. A Pegrin falcon is going to be about the size of a raven, perhaps bigger. You may have hit an owl.

i dont think this bird was 3 feet, it was big but I dont think that big. a raven size sounds about right. so the final vote is probably a paragrin falcon. please tell me these birds are not endangered or extremely rare. I know is sounds bad to be selective but i would rather have killed something that is not about to become extinct and Im helping it along it's way with my truck

Re: peregrine falcon

You're lucky... though the bird is on the list of endangered and threatened species, it's only for certian areas. Washington and the B.C. area is the only area where the peregrine falcon population has remained stable. In other areas, populations are growing due to reintroduction. Good on all fronts.
