Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Rock Wren on Mnt Davidson |
After I had walked away and was picking through the huge sparrow flock of
100+ zonotrichia and junco, I looked back and saw the Rock Wren fly down
into one of the backyards below the coordinates. I think there's a pretty
good chance it could stick til the morning since it is raining lightly and
getting towards dusk.
I also briefly saw what looked like a decent candidate for "Pink-sided"
Junco with a pale gray hood and dark mask. But it flushed while I was
looking in binos, no photo and couldn't refind. Something to keep an eye
out for. The sparrow flock is massive and could have some goodies.

Subject: [SFBirds] McLaren Park Hermit Warbler |
Hola ave fanátic(o/a/e)s,
The female type bird was seen gleaning clusters of pine needles of several
Monterey Pines. It’s a tiny data set but something I’ve noticed before and
also today is the cadence of the Hermit foraging chip. It’s basically a
pretty solid chip note, then a long pause; at least 10 seconds, and then
another chip note. Wash, preen, repeat.
This stand of pines is part of the drainage for Yosemite marsh, and
contains a good number of Toyons full of berries. Yesterday and this
morning the berries were receiving a ton of visitors: Robins, Hermit
Thrushes, a Purple Finch, different sparrows, and most surprisingly, to me,
Northern Flickers. In fact, I’ve always seen birds go to town on non-native
red berry shrubs, but not so much the native Toyon. I wonder if the key is
ripeness. Those berries look ready in early Fall but perhaps it is an
illusion until December. I’ll keep trying to pay attention.
Happy noticing,
Dan Scali, sf

Although the number of species added in November was actually lower than average for November, with five new species, they were all exceptional additions, bringing the City list for the year up to 309 (7 higher than the previous record for the year). Species added included Black-Throated Green Warbler (first record since 2018), Redhead, Scarlet Tanager (first record since 2019), Green-Tailed Towhee and Chimney Swift (first record since 2014). A belated report of a Long-Eared Owl from October was also added to the list.

Subject: [SFBirds] Another confounding group of birds |
Seen with David Assman this morning flying over El Polin...
Very light wings, Pink legs and feet, very pointed bills... seen flying
towards the bay. Though they were all from the same ilk, there were slight
differences, including what appeared to be a darker head on one, yet, maybe
it was the lighting...Glaucous-winged gull was first impression, but the
very sharp, pointy bills threw me. (also what appeared to be a black ring
near the tip of the beak on several photos. Any ID help/verification would
be appreciated!
good birding to all,

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Possible Male Baltimore Oriole in Lafayette Park - ID help please |
This was one confounding bird!
I encountered this oriole independently on the south edge of Lafayette Park, as it turns out about an hour or so after Lori saw it. Luckily I had my camera with me and was able to get some documentation photos, but I have been advised that they show an Orchard Oriole. Unless there were two, out of season and geographically challenged icterids in the same place about the same time (which seems highly unlikely), I am perplexed. So I am posting this in hopes that some of you might offer your expert opinion on the ID.
See: https://ebird.org/checklist/S155399473
My first impression was that it was a Baltimore as the red breast was prominent and it appeared to be on the large end of the oriole spectrum (as Lori noted, it could have been mistaken for a robin at quick glance) - certainly it was obviously and substantially larger than a nearby Yellow-rump (and also longer but thinner than a White-crowned sparrow). Further views through my viewfinder were confusing, however, as it appeared considerably more yellow in direct light, and I had a hard time figuring out what was going on with the wing bar(s) - initially it seemed to show a rather broad white bar (not quite a patch) but at other times it appeared more narrow and better defined as a bar. I think this depended on how tightly it folded its wings. Also intriguing was the scaly appearance of the top of the head and back of the neck, rather similar to that of a female Baltimore, I think. I didn’t get a good look at the tail through binoculars and mistakenly thought it was dark underneath, but my photos clearly show yellow on the undertail, at least on the outer corners, which would seem to indicate Baltimore as well. Then there is the question of coloration - is that reddish color on the breast and partially on the wing coverts orange-red or chestnut?
The preponderance of features (size, thick wing bar, mottled and scaly back of the neck and light underside tail corners) I think point to this most likely being a Baltimore. But what age? It is clearly more developed that the typical “first fall” male plumage, but not fully adult male. Is this a second year bird that has not competed its molt? Or could this be a male with low testosterone levels, therefore showing some female characteristics?
In any case, a very interesting bird!
Any and all thoughts welcome and appreciated.

It was hanging out in the top of the park before it took off to the north. Unclear if it's still in the park. This was around 12:15 today.

Subject: [SFBirds] Painted Bunting in the Inner Sunset, Nov. 30 |
I was *very* surprised to find a female/immature-type Painted Bunting
visiting my feeders in the Inner Sunset this morning. I'd literally just
gotten back this morning (getting home after 2AM) from a trip to Cozumel,
where Painted Buntings are a common wintering bird, yet my foggy brain took
awhile to get past processing what I was seeing as a "weird Lesser
Goldfinch". Swearing and a scramble to unpack my camera ensued.
Mercifully, it returned and I was able to get some photos, one of which is
included below. This is yard bird #99 for me - kinda wish it had been the
milestone #100. Now my job is to keep it around until the CBC.
There are no prior records (at least, not on eBird) of Painted Bunting this
late anywhere in the Bay Area, though there are wintering records from
Mendocino and Humboldt.
-- Adam Winer
P.S.: I swear I did not smuggle this bird home with me from Cozumel!

Awesome - we’d love to have Logan. He’s welcome to join us for the before

Feel free to pass along my info:

Wow Peter - thanks for the heads up.
I hope you asked Lucy to stick around till the 27th? ;) Probably unlikely,
but that would be a fun bird for area 7. We’ll be sure to check that on our
zoo circuit.
Up till now the warthog enclosure has produced all the action. Nice to see
the koalas are getting into the game.
Let me know what you think on the oriole pics.

If you think it's an orchard oriole or something else, please let me know. I posted pictures and description here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S155390201
It was hanging out in the top of the park before it took off to the north. Unclear if it's still in the park. This was around 12:15 today.

Subject: [SFBirds] recent sightings |
This morning (11/28/23) the Corona Heights Park CLAY-COLORED SPARROW
continued for the 39th day since first being noted in October. It has
undergone a bit of molt and the clean gray nape is now much more obvious
than at the time of its initial discovery.
Sunday (11/26) a first cycle BALD EAGLE was observed flying over the Sunset
District mid-morning. In the afternoon (4) GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were
with Canada Geese feeding on the fairway for the 18th hole at Harding
Park/near the Wooden Bridge - North Lake Merced.
Apparent returning (adult) WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS have been noted in
recent days:
11/25 - Along Portola Ave at Marne Way
11/24 - Pine Lake/Stern Grove
11/22 - Laguna Honda
White -throated Sparrows were noted at or near (<~300 meters) these sites
last fall/winter so this is why I suspect these are returning birds.
After spending some time searching around the Sunset District I was finally
able to track down the TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD flock at McCoppin Square on
Taraval 11/26, where at least (18) were foraging along Starlings, Cowbirds
and Brewer's Blackbirds.
On 11/22 a flock of (9) RED CROSSBILLS flew over Laguna Honda and the next
day a single bird was noted on Mount Sutro OSP during a survey. I've also
heard Crossbills sporadically in the nearby Forest Hill neighborhood since
early November so it seems that these birds may be holding on for the
winter.
The San Francisco Christmas Bird Count is still a month away but it is not
too early to start scouting your areas and staking out unusual birds and
foraging areas for sparrow flocks. If anyone is a new area leader and needs
some help or advice on strategy for covering their territory please don't
hesitate to contact me.

After closer views and photo inspection, looks to be a hybrid. Our photos are attached to the ebird list and can be found here ( https://ebird.org/checklist/S155278824 ). Maybe more interesting if you're into that sort of thing.

Hi,
Across the slough (Yosemite Slough) from the cement platform, directly
south (tricky, had to look at google maps to orient cardinally), lazing at
the top of a bushy acacia. Seen first at 2pm.
Kevin Liberg had one nearby a couple weeks ago.
Good wintering,

Hi SF Birders,
I had a young male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a Tennessee Warbler this morning in the oaks along the trail here: 37.7701139,-122.4728417.
Sorry for the late report but I wanted to confirm photos. Perhaps this is the young sapsucker that Dan Scali saw about a month ago? Hopefully it will stick around!
Happy Late Fall Birding!

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Bald Eagle |
The first year Bald Eagle was sitting on North Rock when I arrived at the
Sutro Baths terrace just after 7 AM. It appeared a bit disheveled, and
never moved anything more than its head until it flew an hour later. Its
flight seemed normal, so hopefully it was just hanging out, and not
unhealthy. North Rock is usually full of resident seabirds, but they gave
the eagle a forty foot perimeter of unoccupied space. Travis and Lydia
stopped by, and Lydia later spotted the eagle already in flight and passing
the terrace as it flew into the mouth of the Gate.
After being reminded about the Tropical Kingbird they found yesterday, I
went over to North Lake, and refound the kingbird and the Western Tanager;
both were hawking insects and eating berries on the middle island, viewable
from the east side. The kingbird vocalized several times, something I
rarely hear in SF.

Last Thursday I spotted a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW at Fort Mason in the Community Garden. This morning there was a Clay Colored in the garden as well. I can't tell from pictures if it is the same bird (I've attached one picture of each). After leaving the garden this morning I stopped at Quartermaster Reach, where I spotted another Clay-Colored Sparrow. This one was very scruffy (picture attached). There certainly have been a spate of Clay-Colored Sparrow sightings recently.

Subject: [SFBirds] Crossbills |
As others have noted around the region, there was a lot of bird movement
this morning. At Battery Godfrey in the Presidio, we saw large numbers of
Cackling Geese, Varied Thrush, and American Pipits, as well as a good mix
of ducks. Raptors showed very poorly. After my colleagues had left, the
Red Crossbills we had been hearing earlier made a sudden appearance, and I
took some shots despite pixel and autofocus issues. I'm sending the one
below because it catches the right hand bird with its crossed beak tip in
backlit view. The calls were local type two, but other and rarer types are
being well documented just south of us.

Subject: [SFBirds] cont. Clay-colored Sparrow and other misc. |
A scruffy looking Clay-colored Sparrow is into its 19th day on Corona Hill
since first being noted 10/21. This bird is usually foraging with the
crowned/house sparrow flock along the edge of the grassy field next to the
Community garden/basketball court fence. At other times it feeds along the
north fence of the tennis courts accessed from Flint Street. Today
(11/8/23) it was observed feeding at both spots between 13 - 13:30. This
might be the second longest staying Clay-colored Sparrow for SF at least in
recent years.
A bird found by Rob Furrow on 11/5/13 that stayed until 12/12 of that year
is the longest staying (and latest overall) record for SF that I've been
able to dig up.
Other noteworthy observations in recent days -
good migratory morning movement noted from on and near Sunset Reservoir
yesterday and today including a dawn flying Osprey today, multiple American
Pipits and also this morning a likely (very distant) another Evening
Grosbeak flying in the direction of Turtle Hill/Grandview.
Snowy Plovers - a healthy count of 50 at Ocean Beach yesterday (11/7, CBC
scouting)
Black-bellied Plovers - 21 yesterday , 16 today at Sunset Reservoir, where
there has also been a nice count of (70+) roosting killdeer and today for
the first time roosting on the reservoir were nearly (40) Canada Geese.
Sunset Reservoir has some historical records of very interesting birds
including Golden Plovers, rare gulls and SF's only Snowy Owl record dating
back to an early 70s irruption that reached all the way to the Bay Area.
White-throated Sparrow - adult tan stripe that is probably a returning bird
(multiples wintered over last year) was on the Historic Trail on Mount
Sutro 11/5 , first reported here 10/8.
I've yet to catch up with the Tricolored Blackbird flock this fall despite
dedicating some time searching for them in recent days at feeding sites,
diurnal roost sites and the night roost at North Lake.If anyone refinds
these birds please don't hesitate to report to the list.
If you are participating in the Christmas count it is not too early to be
scounting your areas as many birds that will winter over have arrived by
now.
Thank you,
Dominik Mosur

Subject: [SFBirds] Sequoia Audubon Nov 9 Meeting - Purple Martins! |
This Thursday, November 9
Purple martin ( Progne subis arboricola ), a California Species of Special Concern, historically nested in cavities in existing power poles at Mt Thayer in Santa Clara County. By 2008, only 100-220 pairs were estimated to live in the southern coastal section of California from Marin to Santa Barbara counties and are suggested to be close to local extirpation, making this small Mt Thayer population regionally significant. For several years the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has been monitoring martin breeding activity and providing a variety of nesting structures ranging from traditional nest boxes to experimental hollow cavity poles that emulate natural habitat, to assist with meeting state goals of 1) achieving a statewide species inventory, 2) reaching >2,000 martin pairs, and 3) supporting nesting in cavities rather than houses. In 2023 a livestream camera system was installed to monitor nesting activity within artificial cavities including egg hatching, chick fledging, intraspecies aggression, and infanticide.
Join Karine Tokatlian, a wildlife biologist who manages the District's purple martin enhancement project, who will share the project's history, challenges, and success over the years. She will also briefly discuss the District's work with marbled murrelets and peregrine falcon populations.
Mike Azevedo, coordinator for Sequoia's Purple Marting Project, will also provide a brief update on PUMA in San Mateo County!
We'd love to see your smiling faces, in person at the San Mateo Garden Center. Join us on Zoom if you must. Doors open at 6: 30 for socializing, and the meeting starts at 7 pm. Register: https://bit.ly/3stOzI2

Subject: [SFBirds] Not Just Hawks Overhead |
I was exploring the mesa at North Lake Merced, between the Sunset Circle
and SF State about an hour ago. A flock of Red Crossbills began jipping
from Harding Park, and then managed to cross the lake heading north without
my being able to sight them. Traffic noise kept me from discerning which
type. I stopped to check the row of pines at the north end of the mesa,
and an Evening Grosbeak flew over to the east of me, giving its piercing
peeew call while also heading north beyond my eyesight. Back at the
Circle, I crossed paths with Nina and Keith, and they had also heard the
crossbill flock from the wooden bridge area.

Subject: [SFBirds] Continuing GHOW pair |
A pair of GHOW has been in residence in the upper Corbett area (above
Clayton) for most of the year.
I have not located any roosts (haven't attempted to, really), but I've
heard them a few times every month since at least March. They seem to move
around a bit; sometimes I hear them calling very close to Corbett &
Greystone, other times they're down closer to Clayton. Last night they were
somewhere uphill from Iron Alley.
They seem to call most often on nights that aren't as windy, or at least
that's when I tend to hear them. It's also possible that they're easier to
hear when the wind noise is lower, of course.
(I hope that since this isn't posting a specific roost location it is OK;
please delete if not.)
