On my way to work Sat morning at 5:30 am heading south on I-680 before the Benicia Bridge this turkey walks out on to the freeway and stops in the middle of the fast lane. All I could do was center the car over it. As I passed by I saw a cloud a feathers in the rear view mirror. I thought it went flying the other way. When I arrived at work to check the damage her head was sticking out of the lower grill. As you can see in the last pic her wing span as wide as the front of the car. Must have weighted about 10#.
You got my heart racing and you stired-up a lil PTSD...this actually happend to me about 1.5yrs ago...but it was no Turkey!
