Wow Robert, glad you came out of the encounter OK, yep, I'd hang that face shield up somewhere.

Many years ago my Brother-in -Law was driving to meet me in his car and a duck committed suicide by hitting his windshield and the supporting post on the drivers side. Shattered the windshield and put a pretty good dent in the post. They can be nasty. Glad you were OK..... Jim
I have a friend, that was hit in the head while riding, by a wild Turkey.............He was lucky that it didn't knock him off his (2 wheel) motorcycle......Them bird are quite heavy!

I know the feeling. In 2017 I had a Spruce Grouse run out in front of me in British Columbia. Back and forth he went, and then, as if he decided life wasn't worth living, he ran into my front wheel. He came tumbling past me on the left side minus his head. He chose poorly! I was on two wheels and thank God I stayed that way.
Once while I was riding my Sv 650 a red tail hawk come up from my right side and his talons scraped over the top of my helmet….😳..
Scariest flying object that that I encountered was a tire tread, from a semi that I was passing on I-10 one summer. Ruined a windshield on my Road King, put a serious hickey on my 3/4 helmet, and lucky me; I didn’t go down.
If you ride a motorcycle long enough, all kinds of scenarios are gonna come up to try to knock you off and most times it comes up so quick there’s very little time to react…. proper gear is your best defense…..And sometimes that isn’t enough..😳..
