Hit by a hawk?

After getting in to my car and closing the door at the library today I noticed a hawk swooping down outside my window. He flew down below the level of my window, misjudged the angle and bounced off my front quarter panel. He proceeded to spin around and swoop back down under the window and then up into the shade tree where he paused for a breather. After a minute I got out to get a closer look, he was only ten feet away but behind the leaves. He flew over a couple of trees when I got closer. He was definitely a hawk and didn't appear to be injured.

Are hawks very common there? I hope your car is also uninjured.
