Allright here we go;

One day the amatuer ornithologist saw a very unexpected bird. Shortly after that, he was dead.


Get to it puzzlehead...

Vandy

He saw an eagle that came down and used its talon on his neck?

He saw big-bird who proceeded to trample him WWF style?


He saw a bird that was way out of place from its natural region due to a very intense hurricane that dragged the bird with it, and the hurricane killed him shortly after?

He was skydiving, and was so astonished by seeing a rare bird on the way down he forgot to pull his cord and died?

He was a proffesional pilot, and while he was flying he saw a rare bird that was well above their normal flight altitude, and promptly smashed into the plane's front windows or the engine causing a crash.

The bird had SARS or something?

It was a parrot that said "I'm very Unexpecting" and then shot him?

He met up with one of those pre-historic giant nasty birds that used to roam the earth?

Rodan maybe??

Daegs, you basically nailed it with one of your guesses...

Is this the one?

It sounds like it could be the skydiving one that Daegs offered

I should give the answer because Ol' Daegs really did nail it.

My answer was going to be; The man was a passenger on an airplane, he saw a bird get sucked into the engine at 20,000 feet and the plane crashed.

Basically what Daegs said in his 5th guess.

Good Work!!!

I like the skydiving answer best.

It definately works as well.
