No...two close calls, but never a hit.

If we're counting close calls, I've had dozens. Our airport is right
next to the Iowa River, and is a virtual bird sanctuary at certain times
of the year.

Worse, the beautiful bald eagle has made a huge come-back in Iowa, and
they are thick as flies all the sudden. Those danged things are almost as
big as we are!

They are truly spectacular.

I recall a thread in here some time ago sating that they've seen birds in
the FL altitudes, but I saw one bald eagle when flying at 16,500 and he was
above me (fortunately way off to the right).

OTOH, most flying here is 12K and up so our bird traffic is decidedly less
than you folks get.
