Has anyone else been amused and energized by birds boldly surfing the air currents in front of their car? It seems that the local birds are feeling frisky lately as spring unfolds in northeast Ohio, because I've been seeing a lot of them surf my car the past few weeks.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just observe the activity of birds as you're driving. When one flies out from the side of the road and takes flight right in front of your car as you speed along, stretching its wings out when it hits the air currents, it is surfing. How do I know? That's just a simple step of imagination. Birds after all are intelligent creatures, and it's not often that you'll see one make a mistake and lose its life to the oncoming vehicle.
The professional birds surf 2 cars. I've seen it a few times. A real gutsy bird takes flight right between 2 cars that are moving toward each other on a 2 lane road. Watch for that, it's a treat.
You'll gain a whole new respect of our winged friends when you start witnessing them surfing your car. Enjoy.
