A quick note on your PS regarding birds. Many years ago, I was transitioning to
a Mooney, on final, and ducks appeared, flying across my path from stbd &
directly
for the windscreen (I could see their eyes!). I announced to tower I was
going around & pulled up. After, the instructor said that was the right thing
to do on a bird encounter, not because of where the birds might fly, but because
if they hit the plane, it is better to have the impact on a structure like
the belly than the windscreen.
