There weren't a lot of migrants this morning atop Mt. D - just singletons of a handful of species, but most were FOS for me (which isn't saying much - I've hardly been out). Other birders on the mountain included Travis, Lydia, Keith, Nina, and (of course) Dominik. Highlights included:
- Orchard Oriole - for 30 seconds high in a euc halfway down the north slope. Approximately the 7 zillionth OROR in the last 12 months in SF. - Ash-throated Flycatcher: first low in shrubs at the top of the gully trail, then refound by Keith along the trail low on the east side of the mountain. - Olive-sided Flycatcher: moving around silently high along the forest edge - Black-throated Gray Warbler: one flyby
Also had a male Allen's Hummingbird which *seemed *all rufous, but on closer examination showed a bit of green on the upper back, and when I got a photo of the spread tail feathers it was clearly an Allen's.
Nina apparently had a Golden-crowned Kinglet as well.
