Unfortunate way to tick a frogmouth

I wouldn't count the dead Red-capped Robin I found in Greville St. 
Prahran - it had obviously been brushed with a lot of dead grass out of 
the bull-bar of a large parked 4WD - and it was not fresh either, quite 
'high' in fact. Interesting though.   And there was a record once of a 
dead heron  (Little Bittern maybe?) picked up in a Kalgoorlie street - 
suggestion was, it was killed by interstate transport truck and 
transported way out of range...
