Birdcast reported 23,800 birds flying over San Francisco last night, so I expected that there would be a number of birds at Fort Mason. I had my highest species total for the year, with 60 species. Highlights included a beautiful adult male BULLOCK'S ORIOLE on the west side of the garden and my FOS WESTERN FLYCATCHER on the north side of the garden. A PALM WARBLER was bobbing its tail in a tree above Aquatic Park (perhaps the same one spotted on March 26th). The WESTERN TANAGER continued in the garden. 2 ELEGANT TERNS fly by heading west. I observed HOUSE FINCHES feeding young.
