Ironic you should mention this; had very nearly the same thing happen to me about a year ago. Driving down a quaint, quiet little neighborhood and out of nowhere a dove or pigeon swoops down real low, from left to right. I had no sooner seen it myself then I was on top of it, and didn't have time to avoid it. I could swear I heard the faintest "squawk" sound, and in the rear view, a large cloud of feathers...but when I went to check for anything in my grill, undercarriage or tires: nothing. No feathers, blood or bird carcass to be seen. Had me tripping out the rest of the day.
