ehjalmarsonDescription
Horrible doc photo. Yellowish-brown warbler with distinctive black striped head, which can somewhat be discerned in photo. Was foraging among leaves on the ground very far from trail and difficult to see through the vegetation. Several others have better photos of this bird on eBird.

The famous escaped Walnut Creek Toucan! Sitting in a tree behind a dental office, presumably the one mentioned in this SF Chronicle article:

Spoke to a woman who works nearby. She said she has seen no attempts to capture the bird yet, by professionals or otherwise.

Very surprised to see this wandering through the area. Must be an escapee either from a backyard or a pheasant farm somewhere.

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)Observer
mosquito-anemicDescription
Not 100% sure on this ID, it has been showing up late in each evening to hunt when it’s very hard to take quality photos.
Lol, I’ll keep trying. In person the features seem to be a short-eared Owl.

There were two Ovenbirds on the ridge and they were quite distraught about us passing through their little patch of forest. They obviously had a nest nearby and were happy to see us move on.

The egret only stayed an hour on the river here. My young neighbor ran to my house and took some pictures and then the egret flew away. It was noted that 2 great white egrets migrated over Hawk Ridge in Duluth yesterday morning.

We pulled over on the road approaching the lock and dam. View is fro the car and through the trees. The three of us agreed "100s". It was stunning. In among the mergansers is a large eagle sitting on the ice.

Yellow-shafted × Red-shafted Flicker (Colaptes auratus luteus × cafer)Observer
tyrannidaeDescription
EDIT: Intergrade bird is the consensus
This bird was in my backyard this morning. Initially thought it was yellow-shafted but it had a bright red underwing in flight and closer inspection revealed a red undertail. Had to get pics because this is pretty rare here. I am pretty confident this is a female red-shafted flicker but would like further input, as a hybrid is also possible.
