The first time I had ever seen this, i videoed the entire event as well from entry to exit. It was as if this species swims all the time. I sent it to a frogmouth expert and she had never seen that before. The bird chose to swim and flew away very easily after its swim. There appeared to be no explanation for the bird swimming as it was not particularly hot or anything unusual.

31mm length. I met anudibranchmom & dpom at Morro Bay, and they kindly allowed me to photograph this individual which they found.

While doing homework on a bench, this chipmunk jumped on to see what I was doing. I let her take a look but she only got to the search bar and gave up. So I put on some of my chipmunk pictures for her to see. Posed for observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/129984459

Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.

The red band on its head is close to the beak and eyes as it is located at the front of the head (fore head) this can be seen better in the second photo. There are two large white marks on the back which can be seen in the 5th pic. In the 6th,7th and 8th photos you can see the spotted/ striped chest of the bird all of these combined would suggest that this bird is a male middle spotted woodpecker. In the last photo you can see it cleaning its feathers.
