Subject: [SFBirds] Local Interest - Expected Migrants Past Week |
Migrants keep trickling through the northern half of San Francisco. Last Tuesday (the 2nd), an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER was eating blackberries behind the General's Residence at Fort Mason, and two WESTERN WOOD-PEWEES were in the Battery. A WESTERN FLYCATCHER was at El Polin. On Wednesday, a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK was singing constantly at El Polin, as were two WESTERN WARBLING VIREOS. On Thursday one WESTERN WARBLING VIREO remained at El Polin, and a WESTERN TANAGER sang nearby. On Friday, at Kobbe and Upton in the Presidio, an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER and a WESTERN TANAGER were both quite vocal. On Sunday, a late migrating WESTERN KINGBIRD was on the west side of the garden at Fort Mason. Yesterday the only potential migrant at El Polin was a WESTERN FLYCATCHER (which could spend the summer).
Today the surprise was a flock of 42! LONG-BILLED CURLEWS in Crissy Field Lagoon, accompanied by five MARBLED GODWITS.

Subject: [SFBirds] Noyo Pelagics May 30 Trip Report and upcoming trips, 6/8 and 6/14 |
Greetings Bay Area -
We had a good trip on May 30th including the usual Pterodroma (MUPE,
HAPE) but some surprises including Least Tern, Nazca Booby, and some
quite unseasonal Black Storm-Petrels, as well Manx Shearwater, South
Polar Skua, and all the usual stuff. Our trip report with photos is now up:
https://noyopelagics.com/may-30-2026-deepwater-pelagic-birds-and-mammals/
We're starting to see signs of the coming El Nino (see the report for
some thoughts on how big) including the above plus Masked Booby, Cocos
Booby, and Red-billed Tropicbird off Mendocino in the past 2 weeks. At
the same time we are experiencing "mega" upwelling this spring, and the
coastal ocean up here is still quite cool. What happens when cold
upwelled water meets hot tropical water? It could be quite interesting!
We still have space on our full day trip of June 14th. A couple of
scholarship spots (free ticket for students) might still be available
(contact Tim Bray cc'd above), and Mendocino Coast Audubon has also
reserved a camping spot, gratis, for whoever would like to save on
lodging (contact Roger Adamson, cc'd above).
Further, if you want to make a weekend of it, Rob Fowler has a deepwater
pelagic trip from Eureka going on the 13th. It will be fun to compare
offshore happenings on these two trips. If interested in that trip
contact Rob (cc'd above) then come on down to Noyo!
We have also scheduled a half-day trip on June 8th, when weather is
predicted to be favorable. We plan to visit both Caspar Highspot and
Noyo Canyon, two nearshore areas that have proven productive of late
(see report).
Hope you can join us for one of these or both: see
https://noyopelagics.com/ to sign up.
Cheers, Peter

Subject: [SFBirds] some recent breeding bird notes |
A few observations of nesting activity in San Francisco I found notable in
recent days:
Band-tailed Pigeons - confirmation for a 2nd block in SF was in Glen Canyon
Park 6/4 with an adult Band-tailed Pigeon feeding a juvenile RED ELDERBERRY
Allen's Hummingbird - a female was collecting nesting material at Pine Lake
6/1 for I presume would be a third breeding attempt of the season
Violet-green Swallow - arrived in Pine Lake Park by mid-March but first
confirmation of nesting was 6/4 when a couple of females were observed
collecting mowed bits of grass near the Pine Lake Clubhouse
Barn Swallow - one pair was tending young (adult observed ingesting a fecal
sac) on 20th avenue across from Larsen Park inside the gated entrance to a
private home 6/1. I've spoken to the son of the owner and they love the
Barn Swallows despite the mess they create. The nest is built on top of and
around their security camera and they have used the previous year's
structure as the foundation for the new nest for a number of years now.
Another pair was collecting material (dried grass bits/mud) at Pine Lake 6/4
Scaly-breasted Munia - first reported at Pine Lake 5/31, multiple
individuals continue in the weedy edges along the north side of the park
from the lake to the dog run. This species has never been noted nesting in
SF but their extended presence here is intriguing and any one visiting Pine
Lake in upcoming days should be on the look out for birds carrying nesting
material. The munia nests can be quite large (almost the size of a
basketball) and should be relatively easy to find. CAUTION - these birds
feed among other things on grass seeds and in the past couple off days I've
noted them appearing to be carrying material but in reality just moving
around with a grass stalk they were feeding on and ultimately discarding.
Spotted Towhee - carrying food in Glen Canyon Park 6/4, localized breeder
in SF
Also today is the start of the inaugural "CBA Big Weekend", see following
for details:
_________________________
Hi birders,
Today marks the start of the inaugural California Bird Atlas Big Weekend,
running June 4–7. Thanks to the tremendous support of the birding
community, 54 field trips and events are taking place across the state this
weekend. See here <https://www.californiabirdatlas.org/bigweekend> for more
information about Big Weekend and a map of scheduled events.
You do not need to join an organized event to participate. Every Atlas
checklist submitted during these four days will count toward the Big
Weekend results. Early next week, we will share a summary of the weekend’s
highlights, including the total number of checklists submitted, the number
of Atlas blocks surveyed, the number of species confirmed breeding, notable
discoveries, highlights from around the state, photos from participants,
and much more.
Be sure to explore Blockboard
<https://www.californiabirdatlas.org/blockboard>, CBA's Progress Dashboard,
to identify blocks that need additional coverage and to see which species
have not yet been confirmed breeding in your local area.
We continue to be amazed by the level of engagement from birders across
California. As of this writing, *4,416 atlasers* have submitted an
incredible *123,911 Atlas checklists* from 7,075 blocks, representing
42.81% of all Atlas blocks statewide.
At least 276 species have now been reported with confirmed breeding codes.
Recent additions since June 1 include Vesper Sparrow
<https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/checklist/S351045757> (Mono County), Barred
Owl <https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/checklist/S351554819> (Humboldt
County), and Brown-crested Flycatcher
<https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/checklist/S351551787> (San Diego County).
*ATLAS DISPATCH* NEWSLETTER:
For a deeper look at Atlas progress, atlasing tips and tricks, notable
recent discoveries, and some of our favorite photos from the past month,

Update:
I returned briefly to the spot and found Bob & Juli, we got good prolonged
looks at the bird but no vocalizations. In better light than I had this
morning, it may have been a false alarm and just be a Western. Obviously
conclusive recordings would be best if anyone happens to come by later
today. (The vocalization I heard this morning was still interesting)

Good morning,
I had a confusing flycatcher on Bernal Hill this morning that may have been
an Eastern Wood-pewee. Not 100% on the ID but I am leaning that way as of
now. I had to leave for work but it may be worth checking this bird out.
I'll try to make it back up later too, to get better documentation and pin
down the ID.
The last location seen was the eastern edge of the northwest eucs, here:
37.744336,-122.414913
Please attempt to record vocalizations, I heard a call like the "paweee" of
Eastern (not the full PEE-a-WEEE but not the typical song of a Western
either).
Good luck!

Holis,
Here: (37.7870676, -122.5011699)
I heard it singing (oddly smooth, not burry) as soon as I crossed the rope
onto the hiking trail from the golf course. Hanging in the Eucs so far.
Good Atlassing y’all,
Dan

Subject: [SFBirds] Rhino Courtship |
I spent an hour and a half at the Sutro Baths this morning before the fog
lowered, with the only highlight being a pair of Rhinoceros Auklets just
offshore. Once I got the scope on them I could see their horns and eye
plumes, but then I was given a first ever experience as I watched them
synchronously stretching their necks up and out like potoos as they swam
side by side, then coming around to face each other and touching beak tips
together in a quick little kiss. They did this three times before swimming
further offshore and eventually behind Seal Rocks. No mating was observed,
but after a walk around Land's End, I spotted them or a second pair by
Hermit Rock. I've written before about how great it would be to have them
breeding here in town, so I'll keep trying to monitor the situation.
Land's End, North Lake, and Elk Glen were migrant free, but after driving
home, I then walked up to Alamo Square, where I immediately spotted an
Ash-throated Flycatcher, an Olive-sided Flycatcher, and heard a Western
Flycatcher. At least four Western Tanagers were up in the cypresses, but
there was no sight or sound from the male Summer of the last two days. I
then saw Donna Borden, and she and Heather shared that Mike Anderson had
just found a female type Summer on the north side of the park. After many
minutes of scouring the area, I had brief looks at the female flying
between cypresses near Fulton and Pierce.

As luck would have it, the wind direction also changed. Hugh convinced me to stay after they packed up, "You never know what will....."

Subject: [SFBirds] CA Bird Atlas Big Weekend Field Trips and Social - June 4-7 |
Hi everyone, the California Bird Atlas is holding our first Big Weekend
June 4th-7th to welcome new atlasers and to expand coverage. Locally we're
holding several field trips, but I want to highlight a social event to
kickoff the weekend:
*Thursday June 4, 6:30 pm to 9 pm*
*Bay Area Atlas Social *
Prescott Market <http://prescottmarket.com/>
1620 18th Street, Oakland 94607
This is super informal and registration is not required, but please RSVP so
I have an idea of how many people to expect in case I need to try to
reserve tables. Otherwise, just look for me wearing as much bird swag as I
can. More info and registration here: link
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnKMbPUFbu3PRbiazy-UrykiZzt455kD4VBc4jr0X7Fem6vA/viewform>
The full list of events is here:
https://www.californiabirdatlas.org/bigweekend. You can register your own
if you have plans to bird and would like company; trips don't have to be
through a formal organization. Click on "submit an event" on the map.
Additionally, Science Director Sam Safran created a new tool called the
Blockboard to view atlas blocks, effort, and what species have and haven't
yet been confirmed per block. It's really cool and another great resource:
californiabirdatlas.org/blockboard
Some regional atlas stats so far:
San Francisco: 82 confirmed species, 147 species coded over 3233 hours
Alameda County: 108 confirmed species, 193 species coded over 3608 hours
Contra Costa County: 101 confirmed species, 181 species coded over 1992
hours
April statewide recap is here:

It was a case of rinse and repeat this morning at Battery Godfrey- May 19.
Joined by Nancy P for the Visit and by David A and Michael P for part we
had very similar results to yesterday.
The main highlights included a flock of 35 White-faced Ibis that flew
directly overhead east first thing; we had two groups of Black Swift going
north - 16 and 18; a Broad-winged Hawk around 10.30 AM going north and many
western migrants including many Western Kingbirds and Tanagers, WW
Peewee's, BG Gnatcatcher, Hermit Warbler etc. and many hundreds of Waxwing,

Subject: [SFBirds] AMERICAN REDSTART @ Pine Lake 5/19/26 |
West end of lake, currently foraging high up in one of the tall eucalyptus trees. Female or first summer male (I suspect female because so far it’s only called a few times and has not sang)
Happy birding,

Subject: [SFBirds] Battery Godfrey flight: Black Swifts, Purple Martins and more |
Blasting north and northeast winds overnight and unusually warm
temperatures (65 at dawn!) led to a spectacular flight at Battery Godfrey
this morning of Black Swifts and Purple Martins, among other migrants. A
small group of observers recorded close to 200 Black Swifts moving
northeast in groups of 4-49, with excellent views. Other observers from
different locations around the city also observed this flight, and numbers
certainly will show SF County high counts for this species. Also coming in
with a county high count were Purple Martins, with at least 18.
Other highlights from the Battery were a flock of 11 White-faced Ibis
spotted by Brian Fitch at dawn that came in low over the water in the
channel, then circled up high and were not seen coming in the Gate. Cédric
observed these birds from the Sunset a short time later, heading south.
Dozens of Western Kingbirds were seen flying northeast, as well as small
numbers of Western Tanagers, Lazuli Buntings, and Townsend's Warblers.
Passerines were difficult to pick up in the howling winds which made it
difficult to stand at times.
Hugh Cotter spotted one more goodie after I and the others had departed.
Also of note: the Red Knot found by Nancy Palmer on 5/10 continues among
Sanderlings on Ocean Beach off of Pacheco, in a huge flock flushed
constantly by off-leash dogs to the delight and for the social media
accounts of their owners. Many thanks to Paul S. and Rajan R. for keeping
tabs on its whereabouts earlier today.
Good birding!

Subject: [SFBirds] Thurs. May 14 - The most overlooked birds in North America! |
*May 14 – 7:00 pm Zoom*
*The most overlooked birds in North America: Females, Joanna Wu*
Female birds often hide in plain sight. Typically drabber and more inconspicuous than males, female birds face an unconscious bias in birdwatching, photography, and even in our scientific knowledge of birds. This talk explores the history of the focus on male birds, why it’s important to focus on females, and offers tips for identifying female birds. Joanna challenges the audience to confront their own biases towards a more equalized birding experience.
Joanna Wu is a PhD student studying female birds in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. She previously worked at the National Audubon Society and is a member of the Galbatross Project, a group of birders, scientists, writers, and conservationists who are passionate about spreading awareness about female birds.

Subject: [SFBirds] Possible Blue-headed Grosbeak at Golden Gate Heights Park |
I had a very brief look at the backside of an all blue bird with rusty wing bars this morning at Golden Gate Heights park. It was high in a pine near the playground area here: (37.7500979, -122.4690253).
I tried to refind it for about an hour and a half with no luck. Just putting it out there in case anyone is nearby and wants to have a look!
