Duck strike to chest region.
Startled rider and duck, no serious damage to either.
When I hit the bird this morning there had been several ponds that have ducks and geese all around them. When I ride past they scare and takeoff and I have wondered what would happen, now I know. That would scare me a lot having a duck or goose fly into me. This morning it was just a tiny songbird and I didn't really even feel it. I looked back and saw feathers and small bird laid out.
