Saturday, midday, I did a skywatch from home in Redwood Shores for raptors. A casual visitor along the bayside east of Highway 101 was an adult Golden Eagle. The Golden Eagle was high up and drifting in the direction of Bair Island. Passerine migrants have been as expected at this date a trickle at drop-in locations along the bayside. Wilson's Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warblers and a number of Lincoln's Sparrows. On the 28th, there was a male Rufous Hummingbird at Coyote Pt. County Park. Late March into the first half of April have been when most of the male Rufous Hummingbirds have been noted at the park. On the 27th, a Lark Sparrow was with Golden-crowned Sparrows along the public access trail at Sem Lanein Belmont. Sem Lane has been a magnet for Lark Sparrows over the years during spring and fall migration.
