Several of them. Spike is or was a GBH with an object much like the one depicted protruding from his throat. IIRC the Fish and Wildlife people finally caught him and did the necessary repairs. >

The difference: If it was Bret, it was a Labrador. If it was Rita, it was a pile of dogshit.

There for a while there Bret had a lunch-time model that was a GBH called Spike. He had several good photos and then the wildlife commission came and rehabilitated the bird or so I've surmised. They were good photos except for the nail (spike) coming out its neck. GBH's are cool. One of the most graceful birds in flight to see.

Good point. That explains our recent windstorms.
