Observation Date / Time
Crushed, poor condition for identification. Has flycatcher style bill and head. Struck after I took the first image and landed in the center of the westbound lane. If anyone has any idea on what this bird is I would appreciate the help.
Sparse vegetation dominated by Larrea tridentata (Creosote), Atriplex hymenelytra (Desert holly), and Erigonum inflatum (Desert trumpet). Weather: 0% clouds, 0-5 mph winds, 51 degrees Fahrenheit.
