[va-richmond-general] Whoa! What was that?

A friend of mine was walking in his Hanover County neighborhood after
dark last week and was dive-bombed by some unknown bird.  It struck in
the right forehead area, greatly startling him.  The force of the blow,
he said, felt similar to being hit in the head by a racketball from
close range.  When his hand went to his head, he felt the bird flutter
away.  A search of the ground using his flashlight produced no culprit.
He had a black eye the next day, but otherwise, none the worse for his
encounter.

After reading IE Ries "strange bird behaviors" post today, I wondered if
any of you have ideas about the identity of the avian kamikaze?
