Driver was sober, bird likely drunk...only in California.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - The driver was sober. The bird he hit may have
been under the influence. A California brown pelican flew through the
windshield of a motorist on the Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County
Thursday, and wildlife officials said the bird was probably intoxicated
by a chemical in the water.

Though toxicology tests take several weeks, the odd bird behavior was
likely the result of poisoning from domoic acid, which has been found
in the ocean in the area, said Lisa Birkle, assistant wildlife director
at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach.

Birds can be poisoned through eating algae tainted by the acid.

The driver was not hurt. The pelican needed surgery for a broken foot,
and also had a gash on its pouch.

"She's hanging in there," Birkle said.

The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center has received 16 calls of strange
bird behavior in the past week, and was holding three other birds found
disoriented and wandering through yards and in streets.

Domoic acid poisoning was the most likely cause of a 1961 invasion of
thousands of frantic seabirds in Northern California that inspired
Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds."

Those birds flew into buildings and pecked several humans.

Pelicans have excellent eyesight and they are unlikely to have flown
into a car without some kind of intoxication, Birkle said.
