Subject: [SFBirds] Atlas update/ recent sightings - BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD and LONG-EARED OWL
Hello SFBirders,

The atlas effort is chugging along through April.

We are up to 62 confirmed species for San Francisco with three species:
Anna's Hummingbird, European Starling and White-crowned sparrow confirmed
in all 9 mainland blocks.

Shout out to Michelle Moir and Josiah Clark with the first confirmation of
the year of nesting Orange-crowned Warblers in the Presidio.

If you'd like to delve deeper into the dataset you can do so on the SF
County Atlas page here:

Additionally there's a new webinar with statewide updates, highlights and
a tutorial on finding nests featuring our regional Atlas Coordinator Megan
Jankowsi that you can watch on youtube:

Besides the excitement of documenting all our local breeding birds migrants
are now moving through in large numbers. Some more unusual one's I've noted
in the past couple of days in the course of atlas work were a Long-eared
Owl in the Southeast part of the City yesterday and a male Black-chinned
Hummingbird that showed up today on Corona Hill.

Happy spring birding to all,

Dominik Mosur
San Francisco
