Luckily, this did not set the tenor for the day.

As I locked up the house yesterday and looked out to the car, I saw a bird alight on my car's rear-view mirror. There, it emptied its bowels completely as I watched.

The sad thing was, I was in a hurry and couldn't clean it off the car before leaving. Yuck.

My grandfather on my mother's side always said that was incredible good luck. You must be about to win the lottery, or something.

Is the car a convertible, or did you mean one of the side mirrors? (The rearview is the one in the middle of the dashboard, no?)

In any case -- blech.

You're absolutely right. It's one of the side mirrors. Further observation shows that the towhees are fighting their reflections in them. Now I know where "birdbrain" comes from.

That was very lucky for the car, if not for you. However don't let it stay there or it will eat into the paint.
