When you go at some speed and sudenly from a bush on a road side a vulture tries to fly, is very difficult to avoid... Same with a green iguana when you drive 80 mph in Sinaloa highways
Doves, quails, juancitos, mice, squairls, frogs, toads.........

I found a second one on the same spot, same size. I presume might be a nest or breading area close. Also, I found a small DOR not far from the spot last November.
I saw an adult last year. DOR as well, actually killed by a bulldozer that was moving some ground.
