This bird was attacking its reflection in the car rear view mirrors. I think it is a California Towhee.
Found dead in an area that had been freshly graded. It was laying out in the open and ants started to get to it. Rigor hadn’t set in yet.
A hatch-year juvenile Red-tailed Hawk that was chased into the side of a nearby building by a flock of crows a couple of hours earlier. He/she was initially unconscious after the collision, and local museum staff had moved to a protected area of a canopied table nearby. The hawk has since regained consciousness, but is still recovering from what appears to be head trauma, and may require a couple hours more, before being able to take flight again.
