Gray Dogwood (Cornus racemosa)Observer
tuedaDescription
I saw these white berries while apple picking. They were about the size of blueberries. The red leaves are due to the season, as I found another bush in a more shaded region with green leafage.

Mexoleon papagoObserver
kuedaDescription
...which one? I'm fairly convinced this is myrmeleontid, and not a "skinny dobsonfly" like I had originally thought. Scotoleon, Myrmeleon, and Brachynemurus all seem like options.
Observed at night in a mixed chaparral / grassland area in Oakland, CA, USA, along with many others. ~2-3 cm total body size.
Update: ID provided by John Oswald on BugGuide.

Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus)Observer
pesayoDescription
Pretty sure it is a thrush, I'm thinking hermit thrush, perhaps it is a veery. The little guy was too fast for me to get a good photo, good camouflage too.
This bird was mainly on the ground. I saw it in late morning.
