Seems like a small wingspan for an owl.. must have been an adolescent maybe?

Either way, it was a bad flight and an even worse landing.. maybe the new mascot for Spirit airlines?

Newark clearly needs to start investing more in bird baths.

Oh God Newark? What a shit airport, at least after TSA came around. It's design and layout did not lend itself at all well to security checkpoints. Literally nothing past TSA except a lonely self-service wall vender selling prepackaged lunch meat sandwiches for $18.

And you'd better hope you don't lay over there and have your connecting flight be out of a different terminal, because then you've gotta go through TSA all over again baby!

Almost definitely died from an impact that hard. Hope it went to good use, would've loved to find that, unfortunately it seems to be in a restricted area.

For whatever reason I thought of Tom cruise yelling “pull up goose!” Which turns out he never said. But I found this when googling to see if it was a line in top gun. It’s not a line on top gun.

Probably committed suicide when it realized it was at Newark.

It’s a pigeon! You can see the face outline and the wings are the wrong shape to be an owl

That happened to a Blue Jay that hit my back window. I heard a huge bang, went to see what happened and saw the imprint. Peeked out to see if it was laying on the ground hurt....it was knocked out (or dead).

Then a hawk swooped in and grabbed him right in front of my eyes, and carried him away 😥

It was kind of horrifying seeing that happen!

Yeah, I'd say it's likely a pigeon as well. Most other birds (including owls I believe) have an oil gland they use to keep their feathers loose and moving freely.

Pigeons have this dust instead, and they make a lot of it.

Replying to Whydoyouhatefreedom (#789,468)

Yeah, came to say this. The dust is called dander, and pigeons have a lot of it. Owls not so much, they have some (it's basically the equivalent of human dead skin, tiny fragments of feathers) but not enough to leave this kind of impression.

Finally, that's definitely a pigeon tail, not an owl one.

In good news, it was a bird which saw the window and was trying to stop, so it didn't hit entirely with its head and it was slowing down. It'll probably be okay.

Look at the shape of the imprint. The bird (probably a pigeon) had seen the window and was slowing down to avoid it. The impact energy isn't concentrated on the head and there's a a much more dense dander trace of the body. This means the muscular body took most of the force, not the head.

I'd say that bird flew away.

I suppose that’s why NYC is mandating bird friendly glass for future construction over a certain height. The bird supporting lobby has one hell of a influence.

>The impact energy isn't concentrated on the head

Because it hit it beak first, then the rest of the body hit the window.

It didn't hit the window while pointing upwards. That's why you don't see the head as much relative to the rest of the body.

Honestly, that’s a fully body slam- very much doubt that bird was ok. Most die, even if they fly off. (for context I rehab Wildlife, I have a freezer full of window strike victims)
