Subject: [SFBirds] Corona hill Hawkwatch 10.2.24 |
A nice push of raptors during the lunch hour today with the following noted:
WHITE-TAILED KITE
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 5
Cooper’s Hawk - 1, adult
BROAD-WINGED HAWKS - 5, all hatch years flew in off Buena Vista heading SE in quick succession 12:30-35
Merlin - first of fall here
Yesterday evening I checked Sunset Reservoir where numbers of Black-bellied Plovers have been increasing in the past week and tallied a solid count (55). Typically the plovers roost on the solar panels but perhaps because of the high temps yesterday all but two were on the cement section.
Last week I watched several American Crows repeatedly flush and persistently chase the plovers off their roost for over 10 minutes before the crows flew off to their evening gathering.

Subject: [SFBirds] Two more pelagics planned from Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg |
Excuse the cross-posting:
We have pelagic trips planned from Noyo Harbor for Monday October 7th
and Sunday November 10th, with back-up date November 11th in case the
10th looks like or turns out to be a no-go due to weather. The 7th is
currently scheduled for a half-day trip but if we get enough sign-ups we
could make a full day out of it, and the November trip is a full day.
The cost is $120 if half day and $175 for full day.
We have had success finding deep-water species on half-day trips, as the
head of Noyo Canyon is only 8 miles from the harbor and pelagic species
such as Buller's Shearwaters, Hawaiian Petrels, and albatrosses seem to
move up the canyon and occur even closer to shore than this. To wit,
lately we have been seeing a lot of Pink-footed and Buller's from shore,
and a Manx Shearwater was spotted on September 15th. There have also
been tons (literally) of Humpback Whales visible from shore in the past
week. Also, a Short-tailed Albatross was seen a couple of days ago in
Mendocino waters from a reposition cruise.
Early October is getting into the under-birded time of year for pelagic
trips but may be the best time for Procellaria petrels, for those who
like to dream. In November we'll be looking for Mottled Petrels,
Parakeet Auklets, and who knows?
If you'd like to join us, please email Chuck Vaughn at
<cevaughn...> Hope to see you out there!
Peter

Subject: [SFBirds] White wagtail - Marin Headlands Rodeo Lagoon |
Hello SF birds,
Around noon today a group of 9 other birders and I identified what looked to be a white wagtail foraging in a grassy area on the NE corner of Rodeo Lagoon in the Marin Headlands, at approximately 37.8323890, -122.5266197. It was eventually flushed to the red roof of the warehouse across the road, where it foraged up there for 10 min or so, until coming back to the ground. It was foraging at the west end of the building when we left. Please note you will likely not have service here (hence the late post!).
eBird checklist with description and photos (thank you, Wing and Laura!) here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S196944622
Happy trails,
Dani Christensen
Cupertino, Santa Clara Co., CA
(PS, I am new to this group so please do let me know if this is the appropriate group to post to. I know this isn’t technically in SF county but I wasn’t sure if there was a Marin Co list and figured SF birders would find this interesting. Thanks!)

Subject: [SFBirds] Migration recap 9.24-28.24 |
It was an exciting week of birding with the first City record of Grace's
Warbler (found by John Facchini 9/24 at Fort Miley East and still being
reported this morning) and the second SF record of Zone-tailed Hawk (m.ob
from Battery Godfrey 9/27.) Warm east wind mornings on Tuesday and Friday
sandwiched the less productive/overcast west wind days in between.
Some highlights from the week as follows:
Vaux's Swifts - conditions were ripe for a big push and Tuesday (9/24)
resulted in the biggest movement of this species I recall seeing in recent
years from Mount Davidson with a tally of (780) birds passing by in
approximately 1.5 hours of skywatching. Not quite as active on Friday
(9/27) but (100+) were noted from Mount D. in the morning and. (52)
skywatching from Corona Hill mid-day
Turkey Vultures - numbers picking , with (8) on Tuesday and (18) on Friday
during mid-day skywatches from Corona Hill
White-tailed Kite - rare migrant over SF one was fun to see flying over
Mount Davidson in the morning Friday
Sharp-shinned Hawk - (9) from Corona on Friday
BROAD-WINGED HAWKS - as already reported on SFBirds Friday (9/27) featured
a massive push with a Corona Hill (city?) high count of (52!!) of these at
least two were Dark-morphs, all the birds I was able to see well appeared
to be hatch-year
BURROWING OWL - rare but regular migrant through SF in fall starting mid
September one was present on Mount Davidson Tuesday-Thursday. Efforts to
relocate the past two days unsuccessful and not surprising considering the
bird was seen along a busy trail used by people, off-leash dogs and a
resident pair of Coyotes. Hopefully it flew to an area where it can winter
successfully. The California Fish and Game Commission is holding a public
hearing on October 10th to decide whether to list the Burrowing owl as
THREATENED or ENDANGERED (long overdue considering the precipitous decline
in population in the past 30 years if you ask me). State residents are
being asked to send their comments in by 10/4, here's the email:
<fgc...>
Horned Lark - the bird previously reported by Nico Stuurman was on Mount
Davidson early in the morning on Friday before flushing and appearing to
fly far to the west, last seen over Golden Gate Heights
Violet-green Swallow - the first big push of fall was noted Friday with
(35) from Mount Davidson in the morning and (29) from Corona Hill mid-day
LAWRENCE's GOLDFINCH - single bird noted from Mount Davidson Friday
A compilation of my efforts as recorded on eBird can be seen here:

Happy fall birding everyone,

All,
Thanks to messages from Leslie, Travis and Liam I had missed three species
from the list:
Wilson's Snipe
Caspian Tern
Acorn Woodpecker.
That brings the total to 162 species and one species pair.
Thank you all,
Hugh

Subject: [SFBirds] Two white owls in GGP? |
Hey y'all,
I'm relatively new to the SF bird scene, so forgive me if this has already
been a discussion point in this community.
I’ve had 2 separate friends (not even birders) tell me they spotted 2 white
owls in the park. One of them got some videos
<https://photos.app.goo.gl/ahv9n1XCijUK81up9>.
I'm guessing they are barn owls? Are they residents? If so, where are they
often found? Do y'all know anything else about them?
Thanks!
Fontaine

This morning there was a Yellow-breasted Chat at Salesforce Park, in the Southwest corner (37.7879372, -122.3987400).It was missing its tail and was pretty loyal to its little patch of Protea.
Also present was a 3rd Salesforce record (per eBird) of Nuttall's Woodpecker, at the opposite end of the park.

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Via John F - Grace’s Warbler - 40th and clement |
Looking at incoming photos, this GRWA appears to be an adult male, as
indicated by the black primary coverts, not contrasting in quality with
the greater coverts, e.g.,
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/624129343
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/624133050
and the squared and fresh rectrices, e.g.,
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/624131039
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/624129347
The bright plumage, lack of brown to the back, and bold flank streaking
also fits adult and indicates a male.
In Southern California a pattern is for this species to return to the
same place for multiple winters. As this bird seems rather
inconspicuous, I wonder if it was in this area last winter as well? This
could also mean it sticks for this winter. I hope so, as I might come
down for it, if it makes the weekend.
Cheers, Peter

The Black-Throated Sparrow seemed to follow the same pattern today as reported on Saturday. It generally hides in the shrub on the west side of the trail at 37.7921090, -122.4564417, then flies down and forages on the trail, and then flies to the bushes on the east side of the trail - and then repeats (I watched it do this routine several times). It flushes whenever someone walks down the trail.

Just a quick note from the field to say it’s a remarkable raptor and
diurnal migrant movement day. Here with Joachim Gonzalez in Eastern Golden
Gate Park, watching dozens of Raptors flyover in the last 30 minutes
including three Broad-winged hawks so far. Also, lots of vaux’s swifts and
some band-tailed pigeons. In other news, it appears there was a big exodus
of songbird migrants last night from some spots here in Golden Gate Park.

Subject: [SFBirds] Lake Merced - California Thrasher, Blackpoll Warbler, etc |
Today for the roundup I covered Lake Merced, though I got off to a late
start and unfortunately didn’t make it to the countdown. I spent quite a
while here and managed to rack up decent numbers.
The main highlight was a California Thrasher, which I was surprised to find
skulking around low in the willows lining the southwest side of the Impound
Lake (southernmost lake). Here are coords for anyone looking to chase:
37.7096421, -122.4877816
About an hour before the thrasher I also had a nice Blackpoll Warbler
associating with a mixed flock in eucs here:
37.7178785, -122.4983314
Otherwise nothing crazy, but here are some more migrant numbers:
1 Willow Flycatcher
8 Western Flycatchers
1 Warbling Vireo
1 Northern Rough-winged Swallow
1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
2 House Wrens
1 Swainson’s Thrush
1 Fox Sparrow
3 Orange-crowned Warblers (all lutescens)
33 Yellow Warblers
22 Townsend’s Warblers
7 Wilson’s Warblers
Here’s a checklist with photos and other details:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S195991025
Thanks to the organizers for luring me up here today, it was a very fun
place to bird!
Happy roundup day,
Alex Castelein

For those who have not gotten enough of birding in the cool weather, there’s a male Costa’s coming to a blooming scarlet euke , off clement around 38th Ave.
There’s a trail you can take at 40th Ave. be careful of golf balls.
Location of tree:
37.78250, -122.49918
Lots of yellow warblers and at least one Rufous/Allen’s here as well along with lots of Anna’s Hummingbirds (naturally).

Subject: [SFBirds] Grasshopper Sparrow - Fort Mason |
During today’s SF Rare Bird Roundup, there was a Grasshopper Sparrow on the west side of the community garden at Fort Mason here: (37.8059120, -122.4289199). Very timid, for anyone chasing suggest you stand high on the berm southwest of the garden and give it plenty of space to come out and forage on the path immediately west of the garden. First seen at 9:15 am and last seen around 11:45 am, getting windy and sheltering.

Hi all,
Just wanted to note that there was a Chestnut-sided Warbler in the Panhandle, W of Masonic Ave., earlier today. Here's a link to the eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S195852624. Seems like this is already the 5th one to be found this fall.

Hi all,
It's been a fun week as we approach the peak of fall migration. Potentially
of interest to some on this list, the Cinnamon Teal found a few days ago by
Sam Talarigo continues at the Lake Merced concrete bridge. A little while
ago it was resting on the small "Mallard beach" on the north side of the
(east end of the) bridge.
Good birding,

Subject: [SFBirds] recent migrant notes: another Tennesse/Parula et al. 9.17-18.24 |
The last couple of days have brought the first major wave of fall migrants
to the city including a number of "vagrants".
Yesterday morning a TENNESSE WARBLER (I think something like the 4th or 5
already this fall) was in the Red blooming eucalyptus tree along Corbett
Street where it runs past the Rooftop School, just above the stairs with
the free book box. That bird was still in the same spot this morning.
Yesterday afternoon another NORTHERN PARULA (3rd? this fall, hatch year
female) was in the thickets along Twin Peaks Boulevard right before the
last right turn bend before one gets to Portola.
Other less rare migrants included:
MacGillivray's Warbler - in the thicket along Twin Peaks Blvd @ Mountain
Spring Street
Chipping Sparrow - Corona Hill in the a.m.
Fox Sparrows appeared at several sites yesterday: Twin Peaks, Clipper
Terrace Community Garden and Rooftop.
The Acorn Woodpecker first spotted at Buena Vista Park on Saturday from
Corona Hill, is still there today. It's foraging in the blooming eucalyptus
trees along the boardwalk where Robert Martin reported the Chestnut-sided
on Monday. that bird appears to have left and wasn't seen yesterday or
today. A Hermit Warbler continues there.
There's still quite a few spots for this Friday's bird walk on Corona Hill.
Please email me off list if you would like to attend.
For those who don't check eBird religiously (compulsively) there are also
continuing today:
Black-chinned Hummingbird - Vista Grande Canal
Gray Flycatcher - at Fort Mason along with a new migrant Clay-colored
Sparrow
No positive reports on the Blue-headed Vireo at North Lake so Far.

All,
On Saturday next, Sept. 21st, the annual San Francisco Rare Bird Round Up
is happening.
The goal is to try and blanket as much of the City as possible with birders
and see what rarities can be found.
If anyone is birding that day and can report their findings to sfbirds or
ebird that would be great - we do a full list of every species seen that
day.
If anyone is looking to bird some areas - looking for some more coverage at
Lake Merced and downtown parks including Sue Bierman and Ferry Park;
Lafayette Park.
There will be an informal countdown at Battery Godfrey at 12.30 PM for
those who might be interested.
Thanks,
Alan and Hugh

Subject: [SFBirds] Buena Vista Park 09.16.2024 - Warblers |
I noticed a push of passerines in the park from my home office window today.
I was able to get away from work just after 430pm and headed into the park from the southwest entrance - heading straight to the more sheltered boardwalk.
The flowering eucs were dripping with birds. The dominant species feeding from them were the TOWNSENDS WARBLERS and WESTERN TANAGERS - good counts of each. Amongst them I found several YELLOW WARBLERS and a single HERMIT WARBLER and a CHESTNUT SIDED WARBLER juv. I did not take my usual path through the park - the live oaks at the north end of the park were not checked and that is usually a good spot. I spent most of my time at the flowering eucs, but further along the boardwalk at towards the top there were several WESTERN FLYCATCHERS looking very "fresh". The hummingbirds - both ANNAS and RUFOUS/ALLEN'S - were aggressively defending the eucs.
There are also good viewing opportunities (at canopy level) of the flowering eucs on the old paved road just above the boardwalk.
Happy birding all.

First off that spelling, forgive my mild dyslexia (ShearWater).
Second, the birds I identified as Pink-footed actually were lighter
Sooty's that were brightly lit by the sun.
It was spectacular to see this large group of Shearwaters waiting out

Hello,
While searching Strawberry Hill (unsuccessfully) for the Chestnut-sided
Warbler reported this morning, I did manage to turn up a BLACKPOLL WARBLER
on the hillside above the upper pond, near the adjacent picnic table.
Approximately:
37.768845,-122.475652
Bird was associating with numerous Yellow and Wilson's Warblers and quite
active. I'll upload photos to eBird later but it was a typical fall
plumaged individual.
Fall seems to be doing it's thing! Get outside!

Yesterday morning I heard what I figured was a strange sounding

There are currently many thousands of Sheerwaters visible from the Sutro baths seawatch site. Mainly Sooty's but also a sizeable number of Pink-Footed, which are not regularly seen from the coast. Scope recommended, but the show seen through binoculars is also spectacular.

Subject: [SFBirds] Archilochus sp. at Vista Grande Canal 09/14 |
Hi all,
I came across this intriguing female hummingbird along Vista Grande Canal today that threw me for a loop for a while. Upon studying photos and communicating with better birders than I, it appears that this is definitely a Archilochus sp., with Keith Hansen specifically saying he's leaning more towards Ruby-throated, but can't say for sure given the poor quality of the photos. Here's a link to the checklist with photos and details about location: https://ebird.org/checklist/S195142329
Perhaps if this bird is uncovered again, people with better cameras could obtain clearer shots and maybe we can determine what species this truly is. But this bird was flitty and not very confiding, and I did see it zip across the road the Lake Merced side, so it covers ground.
Anyways, good luck to any and all who look for this thing!
Cheers,
Cédric Duhalde

Checking the blooming red eucalyptus trees just now at Cuesta Court observed a small wood warbler with white outer tail feathers that appeared entirely yellow below, fly out and into backyard trees behind 972 Corbett.
Will come back in the afternoon to try and confirm, but just putting it out there for anyone who might be in the area.

Subject: [SFBirds] recent sightings: Prairie Falcon, Cassin's Vireo, American Redstart |
I've resumed lunch time hawkwatches from Corona Hill when conditions seem
appropriate since the mid-August sighting of a Northern Harrier but so far
these efforts had been disappointing.
This changed today when a minute or two after the noon hour a PRAIRIE
FALCON blasted by west of Corona Hill heading Southwest, last seen
disappearing into the distance in the direction of Sutro Radio Tower. This
is the 5th sighting of Prairie falcon from Corona Hill over the years, and
the third in fall. A few minutes after the falcon a Sharp-shinned Hawk flew
over Buena Vista Park, the first one I've noted this fall.
This morning Liam Murphy and I converged on Pine Lake Park following up on
a report from yesterday of a Plumbeous Vireo. This report was accompanied
by a single somewhat ambiguous photo. We observed, photographed and heard
singing a drab Cassin's Vireo. Likely the same individual first reported
from Pine Lake a few days back by Cedric Duhalde. Although we missed the
Slate-throated this morning, reports of it continuing are up on eBird (day
46).
On Tuesday 9/9 there was a first fall AMERICAN REDSTART working the top
portion of Clipper Terrace Community Garden, viewed from a break in the
hedge running parallel to Portola/just before this becomes Market Street.
The American Redstart was not seen when I checked the community garden
again that afternoon.
Conditions look good for the next few days.

The numbers of Arctic Terns offshore have been off the charts recently. Lots and lots of them. There have been very few Common Terns so far, and some of the Arctics have been reasonably close to shore. I expect that with these upcoming wind events, seawatches may see more Arctic Terns showing up than in an average year. Nice find!!!

Subject: [SFBirds] Arctic Tern over the sunset
Hi all,
Since moving to the Outer Sunset, I’ve been riding my bike along Ocean Beach at dawn, before too many people and dogs crowd out any shorebirds or gulls. This morning with the heavy W winds all night, the Sooty Shearwater show was incredible! I estimated 15000, but who really knows.
When riding back home along 41st Ave., I observed an odd gull/tern flying overhead. When I put my bins on it, it was a tern, but not one of the expected ones. Elegant and Caspian are the most likely out here by the coast, and Forster’s being less expected but possible (there was one on Monday with the gull flock by Beach Chalet). Seeing the gray shade below, and the short bill, this bird appeared to be an adult Arctic Tern! I tried getting photos, but the bird was getting pushed around too much with the wind to focus the camera.
Here’s a link to the checklist:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S194747231
Cheers,
Cédric Duhalde

There was very little migrant activity at Fort Mason yesterday, but today a wide diversity of expected western migrants were present. This included five species of warbler, including Wilson's, Townsend's, Black-Throated Gray, Yellow-Rumped and Yellow (5), as well as a Common Yellowthroat. Other migrants included a Black-Headed Grosbeak, Western Tanager (2), 3 House Wrens, a Red-Breasted Nuthatch, 1 Western Flycatcher, 1 Willow Flycatcher, 1 Western Wood-Pewee and a Rufous Hummingbird.

Subject: [SFBirds] migration summary 9.1-7.2024 |
Migration typically picks up in September and was helped this past week with a high pressure system moving in. Besides the more expected species below are some highlights of observations I found notable from Sunday through today:
American Wigeon - first arrival from end of August continued at Yosemite Slough 9/4, (3) at this location today 9/7
Rufous/Allen's Hummingbirds - Selasphorus continued in good numbers throughout the week on Mount Davidson, Mount Sutro, Corona Hill and Hoover Middle School OSP * (see note at the end)
Semipalmated Plovers - a healthy count for SF of (83) were on the Yosemite Slough mudflats 9/4
Pomarine Jaeger - a close fly-by light morph adult was noted on a SEAWATCH from the south end of Ocean Beach 9/2
Pigeon Guillemot - a hatch year or basic plumage individual was noted from Fort Funston 9/2
Red-throated Loons - the first arrivals in alternate plumage were noted from Ocean Beach/Fort Funston 9/2
Sooty Shearwaters - an estimated swarm of 10,000 from Ocean Beach SEAWATCH 9/2
Osprey - the first migrant I've noted this fall was noted on the GGBA walk from Corona Hill 9/6
American Kestrel - two migrants together flew over Mount Davidson 9/4
Olive-sided Flycatcher - Mount Sutro 9/1
Willow Flycatcher - (2) Mount Sutro 9/1, Corona Hill 9/4, Hoover OSP 9/6
BANK SWALLOW - Mount Davidson 8/3
Cedar Waxwing - first migrant I've noted this fall Mount Davidson 8/4
Pine Siskin -first I've noted this fall Mount Davidson 8/4
Savannah Sparrows - first migrants I've noted this fall Sunset Reservoir 8/1, (3) Mount Davidson 8/3
Common Yellowthroat - migrant at Laguna Honda Reservoir 8/1
NORTHERN PARULA - Hoover OSP 8/3, still present 8/5
(Gray-headed) Orange-crowned Warbler - Mount Davidson 8/4
Hermit Warbler - Mount Sutro 8/1
possible Indigo Bunting - female bunting showing field marks of an Indigo was at Hoover OSP 8/1 but was not very cooperative for photos or extended study and couldn't be refound the next day despite multi-person efforts to do so
A eBird trip list with links to all the checklists from the week can be viewed here:
https://ebird.org/tripreport/273035
Hoover OSP is a name I've made up for a weedy hillside patch with several blooming scarlet eucalyptus (Corymbia ficifolia) that can be accessed from the north dead end of 12th Avenue off Taraval Street against the retaining wall of Hoover Middle School. In a couple of days this spot held the interesting bunting, the Parula and a Tennessee Warbler (Nina Bai) and a Willow Flycatcher in addition to more expected species. There are numerous sites similar to this one around SF that get very little if any attention from birders but can harbor unusual migrants at this time of year. I encourage everyone to explore your neighborhoods and find them.
There's still a few open spots for the 3rd Friday bird walk on Corona Hill 9/20 (sponsored by the Randall Museum). It's geared for beginners but observers of all levels are welcome. The walk does include some moderate hiking. Please email me off list if you'd like to join.
Happy fall birding to all,
Dominik Mosur

Subject: [SFBirds] Local Interest - Fort Mason this week |
A steady stream of western migrants have been moving through Fort Mason over the past five days (Tuesday through Saturday). WESTERN WOOD-PEWEES, WESTERN FLYCATCHERS, WARBLING VIREOS, HOUSE WRENS (3 as of Friday), YELLOW WARBLERS and WESTERN TANAGERS (17 on Friday) have been seen every day. On Thursday I observed one of the House Wrens carrying a stick into a bird box in the garden and leaving it there; wren was constantly vocalizing all morning. ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER has been present every day except Tuesday. An early YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER was seen on Tuesday. TOWNSEND'S WARBLER was seen Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. There was a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK on Tuesday and Saturday. A WILLOW FLYCATCHER was seen Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. A TENNESSEE WARBLER was there on Wednesday. RUFOUS/ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRDS were seen Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER was in the garden on Thursday, and a NASHVILLE WARBLER was present Thursday and Friday. WILSON'S WARBLERS were spotted Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Friday, a late ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER was behind the General's Residence, and at least one COMMON YELLOWTHROAT was in the garden. Today a FOS SAY'S PHOEBE was in the Battery.
