I have a bird behavior question that actually is very stupid, but I'm going to
ask it anyway because I am the ABA SQC* Chairman. :-) When I'm driving, why do
the birds wait until just before I pass to fly across the street right in front
of my car? I ride my brakes, especially in residential areas, for this reason.
I miss them by inches. A few years ago, I didn't miss a House Sparrow and felt
terrible about it. Am I imagining this? Certainly this doesn't happen to me
alone. Is there a name for this behavior?
Thank you for enlightening me,

**Just kidding. There is no such committee. If there was though, I'm sure I'd
be the chairman. :-)
