SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- A bird has left its mark on Oprah
Winfrey's private jet.

The Gulfstream jet had to return to the airport in Santa
Barbara, California, Monday after it struck a bird after
takeoff.

The impact cracked the jet's windshield.

A fire department spokesman says Winfrey and her boyfriend
Stedman Graham are fine and that incidents like this are "not a
totally unusual thing."

Winfrey has a mansion on 42 acres in the hills near Santa
Barbara.
