similar observation was 3 days ago at distance ~ 1km - beetle has a very similar injury, perhaps the reason is not the vehicle, but the bird?

Tiger beetles were getting it on right and left. I've seen C. oregona previously at Abbotts Lagoon, but the white marking extending almost all around the elytral margin is making me think it might be something else... Update: a BugGuide user reports the Pt. Reyes population may be separated into a separate species: http://bugguide.net/node/view/638496
