    Shit I found on CL or EBAY that I could screw on.
    I went off-roading/camped 1 night. Took my time and stopped, ate a meal, let the dog run, etc.
    In the way home, I stopped and got gas and opened the passenger door and look what I saw.
    I looked and at some point this poor dude smacked the inside of my passenger window and landed here. There is a mark and some yellow fibers like right in the middle of the window. Weird.

    Haha poor bird but that’s funny. One time we pulled over at night and my buddy had a dead owl on the front of his Jeep.

    Poor little buddy. Wrong place. Wrong time.

    I've found them on top of my front skid plates when changing the front diff fluid. Never knew I hit 'em.

    Kinda looks like the bird in the first few minutes of The Suicide Squad. Better watch out, his friend will get revenge.

    Yeah, there was a few big gusts. That is the only thing I can think of. I was alone (with the dawg) So the passenger side was only open a few times. He must have been cruisin'!

    OP is probably in violation of the migratory bird act. Prepare to be searched and seized.

    I once knew a guy who caught a bat on his pickup grille and left it there for weeks because is was perfectly centered and looked metal.

    I hit one on my hayabusa. Flew right into the intake duct and made a mess. Glad your bird was still intact

    I didn't scroll down far enough as I was reading the OP and I thought you were talking about finding someone's sunglasses on your seat.
