Subject: [EBB-Sightings] Dotson Marsh breeding plumage birds, BONAPARTE’s Gulls, and probably Snipes… |
A walk yesterday at about a 3 foot tide at Dotson marsh revealed Black-bellied Plovers and Dunlins in full breeding plumage before they take off (which is soon). I was also surprised by a Western Kingbird. Best sighting was 6 Bonaparte’s Gulls, at least one With a full fully black head.
Pretty sure I saw a dozen Wilson’s Snipes, but eBird had already declared them a “rarity” for this time. I didn’t get a great look, so it might have been a group of Dowitchers, though I only saw three of those for the rest of the time I was there, or it might have been Dunlins but my impression was stockier and longer-billed. I deferred to the big red R, but I’m still thinking about it…. SEEMS LIKE A MIGRATORY SPECIES, WHOSE DEPARTURE MIGHT VARY BY A WEEK OR AND FROM PLACE TO PLACE, SHOULD HAVE A “P” for Probably Not, especially at sites where the bird is well known the rest of the year. I admit, I wanted another species for my birdathon fundraising tally…
Good birding!

Friday morning I observed a flock of about 70-80 band tails flying north west over Ridgewood and Danville Blvd (1/2 mile north Alamo Safeway). I think they had just flew out of a small clump of redwood trees as I heard some wings "clapping".

For the first time in years, the Golden Gate Bird Alliance 4th-Wednesday
trip spotted a Green Heron at Lake Merritt. It was sitting on the rocks
along one of the farther islands, and appeared right after someone asked
if we ever saw them there - and before we could finish explaining that
we used to see them fairly often, but hadn't for a long long time....

cowbirds are always around in the Bay Area. After the breeding season they
form flocks and become more localized. In spring they disperse to look for
nests to parasitize so you may see them more frequently and in more places.
But they never actually leave and I would not categorize them as ever being
uncommon or rare in a general sense.
One thing that will increase your detections is familiarizing yourself with
their vocalizations. They try to be sneaky when looking for nests and might
be tough to spot but they vocalize to each other.

They're uncommon but not astonishing at Lake Merritt at this time of
year. I keep a record of what we see on the Golden Gate Bird Alliance
4th-Wednesday walk, and there's about a 50-50 chance in April and rather
less in May and June. The rest of the year, unheard-of - dunno where

Subject: [EBB-Sightings] Northbound YRWAs |
While birding on the Lafayette Reservoir trail on the south woodsy side on Wednesday, we saw a foraging flock of 10-12 “Myrtle” type yellow-rumped warblers. Most appeared very pale (black/white/gray) without yellow cast, except on the rump. Some had a slight tinge of yellow on the throat or flank. One male had a yellow throat. Someone mentioned that YRWA in Washington State are Myrtle group. It made me wonder whether there is more of cline between the two types. Any comments?

Hi:This nest appeared on our driveway this morning. I doubt the wind blew it down. Maybe a squirrel knocked it down while eating eggs. No sign of eggs in or near the downed nest. Lots of grasses in structure. Original tight bottom bowl was brownish and maybe 2.5 inches in diameter. Nearby tree a 10 foot Chinese maple.
Any speculation on who made it??

A Black-headed Grosbeak showed up on my bird feeder in North Berkeley around noon today. In the summer, these are easy to hear and difficult to see or photograph just over the hill in Tilden. Then I was out at Stege Marsh and a birder pointed out a Common Murre was in the bay. I ended up succeeding in photographing a Rufous/Allen’s Hummingbird in the Pride of Madera blossoms along Meeker Slough. Most likely an Allen’s but the photograph is not definitive.

Subject: [EBB-Sightings] Yellow-headed blackbird at Stege Marsh |
Hi all,
There is a yellow-headed blackbird at Stege Marsh near the 51st St Bay
Trail entrance in Richmond. It was first spotted by Cate Jaffe this morning
at 8am. Here is her original checklist
<https://ebird.org/checklist/S315590044>.
Kat Palermo and Ben Satzman saw it again around 9:30, and Evan Melendez and
I saw it again at 10am. It is flying back and forth with a flock of
red-winged blackbirds between the marsh on the inland side of the trail and
the marsh on the bayward side of the trail near the bridge.
[image: image.png]
Thanks for the great spot and tip, Cate!

Subject: [EBB-Sightings] Yellow - headed blackbird at Stege Marsh |
Hi all,
There is a yellow-headed blackbird at Stege Marsh near the 51st St Bay
Trail entrance in Richmond. It was first spotted by Cate Jaffe this morning
at 8am. Here is her original checklist
<https://ebird.org/checklist/S315590044>.
Ben Satzman and I saw it again around 9:30, and Evan Melendez and Ellen
Plane saw it again at 10am. It is flying back and forth with a flock of
red-winged blackbirds between the marsh on the inland side of the trail and
the marsh on the bayward side of the trail near the bridge.
