This afternoon there were two Black Oystercatchers on the island in Shoreline Lake. The was also a male possible Barrow’s Goldeneye. Perhaps there was a bit too much white in the wing feathering to not be a hybrid, but I am not an expert on making that call.
Two White-tailed Kites were perched in the bare trees south of the lake in the area where they have nested in previous years. We have been coming across this irruptive species in many places in the Bay Area a lot more frequently of late than in the past couple of years.
Do not disclose information that identifies the location of nesting birds of any species, to minimize stress on the nesting birds and the risk of vandalism or abuse.
