Hit a crow!

So I was on the highway the other day, going FAST, and noticed that a pair of pigeons flew very low over the car. Around 15 seconds later I noticed a pair of crows about to fly across the car from left -> right. I briefly thought, "Shit they aren't gonna make it" and then it happened...BANG!!!!! One of them hit the very top of the windscreen exactly at the seal between the screen and the roof. It made the most sickeningly loud bang.

I pulled over and checked for damage. None, thankfully. I never knew you could hit a bird in flight with a car. Never had that happen before. I thought the aerodynamics would prevent that, and that made me wonder...do you guys think the air vent on the left of the bonnet could have been part of the reason?

Thoughts?
