You how when you're out driving around, there will almost always be some bird that flies right through the middle of the street, really close to your car? I used to think those birds were just being daredevils, or showing off how well they can navigate through busy traffic, trying to impress all those lady birds.
Recently, however, I've changed my mind. I now think that dodging traffic is some kind of bird rite of passage. On a road trip I took a while ago, one bird failed that rite of passage.
