Subject: [SFBirds] recent misc. observations around SF
Here are some observations I found of note in the past week or so for 2nd
half of October:

Green-winged Teal - 3 were on North Lake Merced in the morning below the
"Mesa" Cormorant Rookery, 6 were on the Impound Lake the same day in the
afternoon 10/19. In general any non-Mallard/Ruddy Ducks are uncommon on
Lake Merced

Common Gallinule - the hatch year Gallinule found in the first half of
October was still on the Impound Lake on 10/19

Bonaparte's Gull - a 2nd cycle Bonaparte's Gull was dip feeding around the
aerators on South Lake Merced 10/19

Green Heron - Pine Lake 10/23

Swainson's Thrush - getting on the late side for this species, a single
Swainson's Thrush was calling at dawn on Corona Hill 10/22

Evening Grosbeak - a single Evening Grosbeak flew over Corona Hill in the
morning 10/21, the number of reports has declined the last few days but
they are still around

Red Crossbills - these continue to be noted a various sites the past week:
7 over Corona Hill 10/16
1 flying over Edgewood Center a block from Pine Lake in the afternoon 10/19
1 over Elk Glen GGP and 8 landing briefly in Pines on Corona Hill 10/20
most unexpected a flock of at least 15 coming to a large Monterey Pine at
Winston and Junipero Serra in the afternoon 10/22
at least one flying over Greystone Terrace 10/23 not far from Tank Hill

Nashville Warbler - getting on the later side for a migrant one was in
Eucalyptus along Twin Peaks Blvd off Portola 10/17

Northern Yellow Warbler - getting on the later side for a migrant one was
at McCopping Square with Yellow-rumps 10/17

Palm Warblers - a continuing Palm Warbler, found by Kevin Liberg a couple
days earlier was in the old 49ers Auxiliary parking section of Candlestick
State Rec Area 10/19, about an hour later another was in fennel at the Last
Port unit of the Rec Area about 3/4 mile to the east of the first Palm

Western Tanager - getting on the later side for a migrant one was on Corona
Hill 10/22, my previous sighting was all the way back on 10/2

Happy Fall Birding,

Dominik Mosur

Subject: [SFBirds] Red-naped Sapsucker and Summer Tanager
All,

The Sapper was found yesterday morning at Elk Glen Lake by Travis Smith. It continued today in the same and only valley oak tree and could stick around for a while.

The Summer Tanager was also found yesterday morning just about 13 blocks to the east in the Botanical Garden. Nancy  caught it bathing in the fountain by the main entrance. It continued this evening in the South Africa section where I heard what I thought was it but the calls were only slurred two syllable pittuk’s and I was listening for a nice three syllable pit ti tuk. Luckily I got eyes on it in the conifers along the east edge of the Conifer Lawn. It proceeded to perch on a branch below an American Robin and I was surprised to see just how much smaller the tanagers are.

Thanks Nancy for my 300th California bird of the year! It has been such a fun Fall.

Good Birding,
Dan

A pretty colorful bird found by Caitlin Chock earlier this morning. Still present at 10:30am on the east side of Crissy Field (37.8033954, -122.4613290), loosely with meadowlarks.

Good luck!

14 new species were added in September, a little less than average for the month, but enough to set a new record, and marks the first time we have ever exceeded 300 species by the end of September.  The new species were Kentucky Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Nazca Booby, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Black-vented Shearwater, Clark's Nutcracker, Lucy's Warbler, Philadelphia Vireo, Lark Bunting, Long-billed Dowitcher, Arctic Tern ,Black Storm-Petrel and Ferruginous Hawk.  This brought us to 302 species - setting another record for species through the end of September.

Subject: [SFBirds] Corona HIll sightings
This morning (10/10) I was joined by 27 birders who braved the cold winds
for a fun loop around the hill.

Some highlights:

Canada Goose - lone fly over, only the 2nd time seen over the hill in 2026

Anna's Hummingbird - JR Blair spotted a female collecting Coyotebrush
fluff, nesting season has begun

Merlin - we watched this bird for over 20 minutes at distance perched on
top of Buena Vista Park. It dropped down after harassment from a Steller's
Jay and within 30 seconds swooped over the group on Corona Hill for a brief
up close view

Violet-green Swallows - a flock of ~25 migrated over head as we were
wrapping up

EVENING GROSBEAK - irruption continues, a lone female flew by at eye level
as the group was assembling in the museum parking lot calling once

RED CROSSBILLS (Type 2/Ponderosa) - another species irrupting on the coast.
A flock of ~12 briefly landed a pine over the museum garden, several more
flew over calling during the course of the morning.

The next Corona Hills walk is tentatively scheduled for 11/17. I will post
to the list if this changes.

Other sightings of note from Corona Hill the past week:

BROAD-WINGED HAWK - HY flew over the museum mid-morning 10/7

EVENING GROSBEAK - 2 flew over late morning 10/8

LAWRENCE's GOLDFINCH - 2 flew over 10/2

RED CROSSBILL - 18 flew over 10/6


Happy Fall Birding,

Dominik Mosur

Subject: [SFBirds] Sausalito Pelagic with the Yolo Bird Alliance - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18TH
Greetings San Francisco Birders!

On behalf of the *Yolo Bird Alliance*, Emmett Iverson and I are excited to
announce an upcoming *pelagic trip out of Sausalito on Sunday, October 18th*.
We will spend *10 hours aboard the Outer Limits*, aiming to spend as much
time offshore as possible in search of pelagic species. Our exact route
will depend on weather and sea conditions on the day of the trip, but we
will likely spend much of the day exploring the deeper waters beyond
continental shelf and around the Pioneer Seamount.

The trip is filling quickly, but there are still a few spaces available on
the trip. *The price is $175 for general admission and $120 for students.*
Please contact Emmett and I at *<yolobirdalliance...>
<yolobirdalliance...>* to sign-up or with any questions.
https://yolobirdalliance.org/event/yolo-bird-alliance-pelagic-from-sausalito/

It has already been an interesting year in offshore Northern California
with late-summer reports of hundreds of *Cook's Petrels* and a more recent
invasion of *Black-vented Shearwaters* and *Black Storm-Petrels*. October
is an especially good time to see *Flesh-footed Shearwater, whales, and
storm-petrels*. An August trip aboard this same vessel was fortunate enough
to encounter a *Streaked Shearwater*, and with the record-breaking El Nino
well underway in the east Pacific, the potential for rare seabirds may be
higher than ever this year.

We hope to see many of you on board!

Happy fall,
Zane Pickus
Davis, CA

*Thursday, October 8, 7:00 pm - Zoom*
*Endemic Birds of the US and Canada - Alvaro Jaramillo*

When birders travel abroad, they are always interested in seeing the “endemic” birds. These are birds that cannot be found elsewhere; they are special to the country or region visited. Even if you are not a world lister, endemics are appealing as they are birds that are specialized to a small sector of the world in many cases. They are sometimes also threatened or endangered. What I find fascinating is that most birders in the US have not asked the question, “What are the endemics of the US?” How about the specialties in Canada? This talk covers these endemics and gives viewers an idea of which birds are truly special in the ABA birding area. Which ones can't be found anywhere else on Earth? *REGISTER:* https://bit.ly/4rtV9IN

Subject: [SFBirds] Am Redstart & Chestnut-sided Warbler at Pine Lake park
Hello you all,

After looping east along the north side of the lake at 3:30 pm with meager
results I decided to follow the path going further east on the south side
of the big field, wondering about interesting migrant/vagrant sparrows.
What appeared instead (less than 100m from the lake) were first a female
American Redstart in the riparian-like border and then a female
Chestnut-sided Warbler. They appeared to be finding good victuals in a Big
Leaf Maple, an Alder, and other habitat.

Good Migrating,
Dan

Last seen flying up into the Monterey Pine along Museum Way just as the

Subject: [SFBirds] recent observations: Parula, Redstarts and Corona Heights October Walk date change

Some fun observations from the past few days:

American Redstart(s) - adult males at Middle Lake and Lincoln Park Golf Course (the "calliope tree") on Monday, 9/28, were continuing birds found earlier last week. This morning, 9/30, a new American Redstart at Pine Lake Park was a hatch year male/female type AKA "Yellowstart"

Northern Parula - was at Middle Lake 9/28, high up in the blooming eucalyptus tree above the tobaccos at the base of the hill at the sw corner of the lake. Also heard here was a getting late Selasphorus (Rufous more likely by this date but you never know.)

Yesterday a White-tailed Kite flew over Corona Hill shortly before noon. A small flock of Vaux's Swifts (~12) spent about a half hour foraging low over the Randall Museum mid-morning. Typically the swifts just blast through museum airspace so it was cool to get to watch them at close range for an extended period of time.

The Corona Heights Walk is going down next Month but on the SECOND Saturday 10/10 instead of the usual third Saturday.

You can sign up for it here:
https://randallmuseum.org/birding-the-hill/

Can't promise we'll see a Clark's Nutcracker but I'm sure we'll have a surprise or two.

Happy Fall Birding to All,

Dominik Mosur

Hi All,

This morning I had a female-type American Redstart on the Log Cabin Trail
with a large mixed flock approx. here:
(37.7701073, -122.4743883).

I covered central and some of east Golden Gate Park for the roundup
(Strawberry Hill, Elk Glen Lake, Log Cabin Trail, Rhododendron Dell) but
had nothing else of note. Decently migranty, Log Cabin Trail was definitely
the birdiest spot of the morning.

Happy September,

Hi SFBirds,

Travis, Ryan Lemon, and I stopped at the course, starting from the
clubhouse, on our way to the Round Up at Battery Godfrey. We checked along
hole 18 and 17 before reentering on El Camino and making our way along the
driving range (37.784431, -122.494898).
The VESPER was seen at the bottom of the hill, then flew up along the north
edge, and then appeared to fly and land on the fairway two holes to the
south. We were limited by time and golfers so didn’t check other holes for
Spizella sp.

This is the first new sparrow I can recall from the golf course, other than
the Clay-coloreds and Lark last year, since I’ve been paying attention.

Good Birding,
Dan

Was flying and foraging straight north from Crissy Warming Hut, moving north and east and further away unfortunately. Scope would be useful in refinding. Likely continuing bird reported 9/19 by Markus Kazmierczak and Ken Chaisson.

Subject: [SFBirds] San Francisco Rare Bird Round Up - Saturday, Sept 26th.
All,
For anyone who might be who might be interested, an informal Rare Bird
Round Up will happen this Saturday, Sept 26th, 2026.

The goal is for birders to spread out across the City and see what can be
found rarity wise and report their findings. There are no assigned
locations.

Some of the participants are then meeting up at Battery Godfrey at 12.30 PM
to do a countdown.
All are welcome. Parking can be challenging at Battery Godfrey and so we
might suggest parking over at Fort Scott or across from Battery Godfrey.

We would ask that sightings are posted to sfbirds or Ebird.

A final list will be developed from all the sightings from the day and a
summary of the day will be issued,

Thanks

Hugh and Alan
