Hi All,
Whilst birding Gazos Creek Road today about 100 yards up from the Cloverdale Road intersection Malia and I first heard then had nice looks at a singing American Redstart. It was flitting around in a small oak on the north side of the road and occasionally crossing over to the riparian area above the creek.
This is the gps where the bird was first seen 37.18601, -122.33852
It appears to be a first summer male showing black flecks on the neck, throat and lores. It was singing frequently.
This is possibly the same bird that was heard by Cedric Von Briel and Chris Henry on 6/11 in the same general area.
We have put photos and audio recordings on the ebird checklist, link below.
