When I arrived at the concrete bridge around 3 pm this afternoon, there
were two adult Tundra Swans swimming north of the bridge. They did some
interesting head and neck bobbing, kind of like Grebes, then regretfully
took off in North Eastern direction at about 3.30 pm. Sorry for the
late report, forgot to bring my phone.
Best,
Nico

Having lived in the houseboat colony for 20 years, I can assure you they were always there. When the port and city informed the Marina that the park that had been built and maintained by the Marina was going to be demolished and rebuilt, we were adamant that certain mature trees had to be left because of the BCNH population. Not the most beautiful trees, but the ones popular with the BCNH’s. You can thank the Mission Creek Conservancy for having kept the city and port honest in their dealings vis a vis the welfare of wildlife in and over the creek for better than 30 years. I’m not certain that that will always be possible.

A pair of GADWALL were in the Hansen Pond this morning at Pier 94.The King Tide meant lots of birds close to shore, including 104 AMERICAN WIGEON. At Heron's Head, the ROCK SANDPIPER (picture attached) was on the north side down from the tip, very close to the path. I counted a minimum of 14 WILSON'S SNIPE.

I have a video of this roost from about 9 years ago. Some lawyers in an office contacted me curious if they were ravens or crows (they'd been watching them for years I gathered):
https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/58080876
At that point, they were roosting around the Transamerica Pyramid (only in the winter months). They do move around a bunch before they finally settle just after dark.
There is a similar sized roost in Oakland (probably of similar size to this) at Webster and Grand, aka Uptown, or as I like to call it Crowkland.

Hi Kevin,
In past falls/winters there’s been a night roost noted in an area near the foot of the Bay Bridge. My personal highest count of crows heading to that roost was 960 at the end of October several years ago. I’d be curious to hear if anyone can track that roost this year for the CBC.

They used to fly to Rincon Annex on Mission near the Embarcadero.
I used to count 200 to 300+ there in the evening after dark
when attending Commenwealth Club meetings near there.
They like the trees and roofs.
I have not been there lately, but they are probably still roosting there or somewhere nearby.

The wintering Tropical Kingbird which has been reported mostly from Sutro Heights Park also visits the edge of Fort Miley across the road. On Sunday 11/21 it was posing nicely in a backyard tree and calling repeatedly around 13:0-13:15, seem from the sidewalk at 48th Avenue and Point Lobos.
A group of at least (5) Acorn Woodpeckers were stashing acorns on the hill above the 6th Avenue Roller Skate Park in Golden Gate Park this afternoon (11/23) These birds have been here for weeks/months (?) and should be a target for the CBC counters in this territory. They also move around to the hill above Lily Pond.

Great point, Daniel.
Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve certainly gotten hyped up before and been completely certain of an ID only to realize later I was in error. The beauty of birding is that as long as we let it teach us we can continue to learn.

Juli Chamberlin, Scott & Linda Terrill, and i were the observers who heard
the Gray Catbird yesterday and we were all confident in the ID. First, the
quality of the sound, though somewhat similarly nasal, was noticeably
"raspier" than a sapsucker. Scott especially has heard a huge number of

Hey birders,
Gray Catbird activity has been pretty exciting in SF this fall. I regret not chasing at a time when others could help me find the little mimic. I did go for it last Friday morning as it had been heard by multiple folks away from the reservoir. Instead of the catbird, I refound the same probably hybrid Red-naped Sapsucker in the Guatemalan Fir that others have seen in that area. What was really exciting is that it was calling; sapsuckers have a mew call. Bummed about no catbird but pumped for my first ever HEARD Red-naped (even Red-breasted seem hard to catch in the vocal act), I headed for the north exit. I was steps from the gate when I heard that same mew call behind me and then heard the mew fly east. I searched the Ancient Plant boardwalk behind the pond and located a different Red-naped Sapsucker which continued to vocalize (I'm guessing this is the bird that is normally on the other side of the hill from the boardwalk in the fragrance garden).
I believe the catbird has not been seen in approximately two weeks and to me Gray Catbird calls sound pretty close to Red-naped Sapsucker calls.

Many Surf Scoters and loons on the move today as well.

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Second Red-naped Sapsucker in Botanical Garden |
I agree with you, Nina: the plumage on your bird from last month on the Log
Cabin trail matches perfectly with the one we saw yesterday, so it has to
be the same individual. Good eye! I would be very curious to hear from the
more knowledgeable people who identified this bird as Red-breasted X
Red-naped hybrid. I'm definitely not an expert on this genus, and i'm happy
to learn more, but nothing that Aaron or i saw while we were in the field,
and nothing that i can see from either Nina's photos or ours obviously
identifies this bird as a hybrid. The red was entirely restricted to the
crown, throat patch, and nape. I assumed that a Red-breasted hybrid would
always show at least a few red feathers elsewhere on the face or breast. Is
that assumption incorrect? Are there other field marks that point toward
hybrid that i'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Toleno

Hi folks,
I believe this is the same bird that was at the Log Cabin trail (where the Virginia’s Warbler was) last month. First seen on 10/19. I went back the next morning for additional photos and videos:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S96491471
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ypPrTF6tfQEraamW8
The pattern on the back and secondaries seem to match up as well as the amount of red on the back of the head.
I think there’s a good argument for this being a Red-naped, though others more knowledgeable than I have suggested hybrid with Red-breasted. Curious what others think!

Aaron Maizlish found a Red-naped Sapsucker in the Botanical Garden today at
around 11:30am that appears to be a different individual than the male that
Alan Hopkins found in the Fragrance Garden. This bird appears to be an
adult female, though it lacks the white chin that most female RNSA show.
(I'm not 100% sure of the sex, though, and would be happy to be corrected.)
He spotted this bird in a tree with extensive sap wells on the border
between the nectar garden and the redwood grove, approximately here:
37.767046, -122.472229
Aaron's bird has a number of characters that are different than the
Fragrance Garden bird, including a thinner white supercilium, a small
vertical row of white spots to the left of the parallel rows of whitish
bars on the back, and a narrower red throat patch. Our (poor) photos and

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] RTHA on the move over San Francisco |
This afternoon Frist Thursday team, on GGRO Hawk Hill had two Rough-legged Hawks fly overs headed to San Francisco.
One is believed to have been a female, seen about 2PM.
The second was a male, seen at 3:00 PM.
Photos taken by day leader Don Bartling of San Anselmo.
Also of interest this GGRO first Thursday team recorded 206 Red-tail Hawks today, all flying over the Golden Gate into San Francisco.
This may be a record for a single day of migrating Red-tail Hawks recorded on GGRO Hawk Hill.

Hey Folks,
Sitting at Clement and 3rd, over the last 35 min at least 10 Red-tailed Hawks (including a pale adult), a Sharp-shinned Hawk, and a bit earlier an American Kestrel passed over all headed S x SW from the Presidio.

Subject: [SFBirds] San Francisco Christmas Bird Count - Need Area Leaders and a Boat |
The 2021 San Francisco Christmas Bird Count (Tuesday December 28th) still needs a few experienced birders to act as Area Leaders and coordinate teams for the Count, and make sure the data is entered into eBird. Organizational skills, eBird skills and persistence are the main qualities needed (you don’t need to be one of the top birders in the County to do this). We are also looking for a boat to survey some of the Bay and/or Ocean areas to find waterbirds (this was part of the Count years ago). Please send an email to <sfcbcount...> ( sfcbcount at gmail.com.) ( sfcbcount@... ) and we will send more information. And, if you want to participate in the count, sign up at https://goldengateaudubon.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/goldengateaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=6956& David Assmann & Siobhan Ruck - SF CBC Compilers

Subject: [SFBirds] Sutro Long-tailed Duck |
Variety of species finally picked this morning at the Sutro Baths. The
highlight was what I'm guessing is a young male Long-tailed Duck, which
flew into the Gate just over the water from the southwest. It had the all
dark wings of the species, black and white dorsal striping of the male, but
little marking on the face, and no long tail. In an image search just now,
I found a photo of a large flock representing a number of plumage
variations, and there was a single bird that matched what I saw today.
Other species of interest included:
Greater Scaup - five small flocks
White-winged Scoter - a flock of 7 meandering north and then west
Bufflehead - a pair
Pacific Loon
Horned Grebe
Pomerine Jaeger
Bonaparte's Gull - 10+
8 other expectable gull species, including Thayer's and Ring-billed

Subject: [SFBirds] Join Us for 2021 Oakland Chrstmas Bird Count |
Hello, Bay Area Birders:
Golden Gate Audubon Society invites you to take part in the 80th annual Oakland Christmas Bird Count, on Sunday, December 19— just under six weeks away. Please join us.
As a field observer, you'll get to see and hear the bird life in an area that fits your interests and abilities, add to our understanding of the status and distribution of our wintering birds, and have fun doing it. We welcome new birders to help locate the birds that are being identified by more experienced leaders. A rarity or two always turns up; learning about them right away will help you see them, too.
The Oakland count circle extends from Treasure Island northeast to the San Pablo Reservoir in Contra Costa County, and south to St. Mary’s College in Moraga and the Oakland International Airport. (That includes not just Oakland but the cities of Alameda, Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany, Orinda, Moraga, and Lafayette.) With its wide variety of habitats, the 2019 Oakland CBC boasted 184 bird species!
View the Count Map:
https://qgiscloud.com/cbc/caoa/
Maybe you'd rather just count birds in your yard on December 19. Feeder watchers can spend as much or as little time watching birds as they wish, and their observations also advance our knowledge of winter bird populations. If this interests you, sign up as a feeder watcher.
The sign-up deadline is December 3, so sign up today at https://goldengateaudubon.org/birding-resources/birding-information/christmas-bird-counts/.
Contact us at if you have questions about the count at <oaklandcbc...>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We hope you'll take part!
Oakland CBC Compilers,
Viviana Wolinsky

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Rough legged Hawk |
The Rough-legged disappeared to the SW between Corona Heights and Buena.
It looked like a light morph female. A first for the house list after I
just returned home from a six hour hawk watch at the battery.

Subject: [SFBirds] Sequoia Audubon Nov 11 Hybrid Meeting - Bay Area Ridge Trail Presentation |
Are you familiar with the Bay Area Ridge Trail? Living in the Bay Area we have 400 Miles of nature nearby!
Thurs. Nov. 11 our monthly meeting presentation is about the Ridge Trail. Join us in person or online via Zoom!
Over 30 years after its inception, the Bay Area Ridge Trail is now close to 400 miles of dedicated trail, open to the public and ready to explore. Join in for a Ridge Trail discussion of the history and future of this regional, multi-use trail network, as they work with land managers around the Bay to close the remaining gaps and promote responsible recreation. We will get a broad overview of the trail system and hear about some favorite spots, especially in and around San Mateo County. Simone Nageon de LeStang, a staff Trail Planner will also share recent and current projects to connect the trail, in collaboration with regional partners like Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Photo: Wunderlich to Huddart Park Ridge Trail. One of our favorite trails! For more information: http://www.sequoia-audubon.org/ ( http://www.sequoia-audubon.org/?fbclid=IwAR1IIhBNWwj147MLsCD3AluhGpaF9iQ90jpnY6QaFrOAP7j6dMqwhmLnkOY )
