I can sure back up what the Dude says about birds going for your eyes. I hooked a cormorant once and am mighty lucky to still have both eyes. I managed to duck (maybe a poor choice of words) just enough to only get a gash in my forehead right in the eyebrow. Cussed thing struck at me just like a rattlesnake.
