Big airplanes are not the only thing that causes wake turbulence, nor are small planes the only ones that have a problem with it.
I was cruising down the freeway today at 70 mph. There was an 18 wheeler several hundred feet ahead of me.
A group of 5 Canada geese came up from a pond on the right, and crossed the freeway about 40 feet up, just as the truck went under them.
The goose at the back, lower down than the others, suddenly bank right about 40 degrees and nosed down about 30 degrees,. Lost about 10 feet of altitude then recovered.
