I saw the headlights of the paperboy coming down the drive this morning as it was totally dark. As he got close, my sensor lights came on and spooked this bird which was roosting in the eaves. The bird flew out into the darkness and then came back and flew into the front of the house, probably breaking his neck.
I've not seen one of these in the desert and am wondering if anybody can identify it? The stripes on the wing edges are bright red. The color is a little off as I took the pic just as the sun was rising.
