I never expected to see a Keel-billed Toucan, more so one flying in California. :) But I got lucky this year: one such exotic bird escaped captivity and for the last several months it's been hanging around some dental offices, a short drive from my house. Surprisingly, it survived through rain, hail and freezing temperatures of this historic winter. Many thanks to Mark who allowed me to use his photo for this drawing.
