It was downgraded to "threatened" in the lower 48, taken off the list in Alaska (not sure if it was ever endangered there). Thankfully, we have more than 50 breeding pairs in Colorado at last count, and as many as 800 of them winter here. (you should check out the Colorado DOW website, it's pretty cool).

I believe you're looking at the bulkhead in back of the cockpit. With my professional CSI training gleaned from television and movies, I'd say the bird disintegrated on impact with the windshield and what was left is scattered inside.
