Hi folks,
I made a short visit to Michigan Bar this morning and was surprised to see a leucistic Bald Eagle eating a salmon downstream from the bridge. Some distant photos are here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S284819241
Also, I saw my first Lewis's Woodpecker along Michigan Bar Rd in 2025. Fair numbers have been in the Coast Range, but they seem scarce around the low foothills on the east side of the Valley in the Sacramento area for the second winter in a row (so far).
