All -
Here are 17 images from the fall plus 2 holdovers from the summer. There also is a screenshot from my Bay Area biking eBird account. As you can see, it's been a productive ~6 weeks with 8 birds added to my running total (375). I've biked over 900 miles in that span (and near 2,600 for the year), so yay for me. I've also pushed my San Mateo bike list to 309, and my SF bike list grew to 298 with yesterday's Lapland Longspur and Black-vented Shearwater. Santa Clara lagging a bit with 245. 852 total ticks across the the peninsula counties - woo hoo!
Anyway......do you see that framed painting of the Coppery-tailed (i.e. formerly Elegant) Trogon in the gallery? It's free to the first person who claims it from my apartment. I'm near the intersection of Delaware and Peninsula, at the interface of San Mateo and Burlingame. Email/call for specifics.
Lastly, if you've bought, read, and enjoyed my book, I'd greatly appreciate a review on Amazon, Goodreads, or other online platform. Star ratings are super, but a few lines of explanatory text really elevate the review. I'll thank you in advance for whatever you can offer.
It's been fun to be around for most of the fall, but that run comes to an end on Saturday, when I leave to lead a three-week photo tour in South Africa. A highly undesirable assignment, I know......
