I forgot I could not attach a picture so I posted it on the ETS Facebook group.

Subject: [ETS/PARC List] Bird Versus My Antenna

After picking up my mom on Thanksgiving Day I drove done the shore to my sister’s house.  While on the Parkway a flock of birds came out of nowhere and I thought one of them hit my car roof as I saw feathers flying all around behind my car.  Once I got to my sister’s house I found the top whip section of my mobile antenna was bent and the end had a 90 degree bend on it.  The whip is made of spring type steel so it really took a shot from that bird.
