An Accidental Attack of the Avian Variety

[unspeakablehorror]

So earlier today I was sitting on a park bench outside and then suddenly I heard a plop sound and saw a big white and black glob land directly in the middle of my face shield.  I guess a bird must have been directly above me at just the 'right' moment. But because I double mask and wear a face shield when I'm outdoors (I wear an N95 and face shield when I'm indoors) I was not in any danger of what would have otherwise happened--that is, getting bird poo directly in my face.  

Never have I been more glad that I'm so incredibly neurotic.  I always wear a face shield when I go out these days because I figure it reduces the larger droplets that reach my mask(s), even though it's obviously not useful for smaller stuff.  So I still wear my masks to help filter out  the smaller droplets that might carry virus particles.

While it wasn't necessarily a covid risk, the bird poo was undoubtedly a...larger droplet.  And the face shield indeed blocked it with 10/10 effectiveness.
