Subject: [SFBirds] Correction Re: Robin Subdues a Lizard |
Apologies for being somewhat off-topic, but I must correct an error in my original message.
Perhaps overly exited about the robin vs. lizard encounter, I inexplicably mis-identified the species of lizard. As Gerry Mugele kindly pointed out, it was of course a California Alligator Lizard. For those seeking more information about our local reptiles, you might want to check out this link Gerry provided: http://www.californiaherps.com/identification/lizardsid/lizards.id.html
Now, about those plants I can't seem to keep straight...
Good luck exploring!

Subject: [SFBirds] Stow Lake Wood Duck, Mandarin Duck, Hooded Merganser |
Stow Lake has always had its shared of exotic waterfowl - various forms of mallards, Muscovy Ducks, etc. that were introduced by humans. One of those - a female MANDARIN DUCK - has now been there for almost five years - first reported on eBird in 2014, and still present this morning on the west side of the island. On the northwest corner of the lake was an oversummering HOODED MERGANSER - for the past four summers a male Hooded Merganser has stayed at Stow Lake. Presumably this is the same bird that has lost its ability (or desire) to migrate. It often hangs out with the female Mandarin Duck. A recent arrival was a male WOOD DUCK, hanging out near the Boathouse. For the past ten years, like clockwork, a male WOOD DUCK has shown up in late spring at Stow Lake (it could be longer, but it's been at least 10 years based on eBird reports). This is probably not the same bird each year, particularly given that sometimes more than one Wood Duck has shown up.

Subject: [SFBirds] Robin subdues a lizard (not for the faint of heart) |
Hi all.
Spent a bit of this fine morning exploring Alemany Farm, my first visit to this community resource with some good bird activity, though marred by a lot of noise from the adjacent freeway. Some active breeders, including Bushtits, Hooded Orioles, Starlings and Phoebes (not to mention butterflies and friendly people!). And something I never expected - a Robin taking down a lizard!
My attention was first drawn to a nice garter snake, then I spotted a nearby Fence Lizard opening its mouth in a defiant display. This had the unfortunate effect of drawing in a foraging Robin, which soon grabbed the lizard by the tail and began thrashing it about. The lizard lost the end of its tail but, undeterred, continued its defiant face off. The Robin chased after it and caught it again, thrashing it about multiple times, biting off more of the tail and finally bashing the lizard's head against the ground multiple times and subduing it. It then grabbed the limp body and carried it off. I managed to capture a bit of the action in photos:
Sometimes it just isn't wise to mouth off! It's rough out there. And you thought your day was stressful!

Subject: [SFBirds] American Redstart — McLaren Park upper pond |
All,
This one (I’m guessing a young male from the female colors but powerful
singing) sang consistently from 8-10am, jumping from tree to tree and in
the willows; all along the east side of the pond, as in opposite side of
the parking lot. Why did I spend 2 entire hours with the bird, you ask? It
was so stunning in the early light that I desperately wanted a nice photo.
Alas, photographing warblers is as fun as getting one’s teeth cleaned with
a water drill. Maybe next time...
Also it was still there when I left.

The Northern Parula may be staying around today. I realize now that I probably heard him yesterday as well near the 18th tee box, but my mind went to Pine Siskin as their sounds are similar to the untrained Parula expert. Also, a Red-breasted Nuthatch just called a min ago.
Parula is flying between low oaks and towering eucs.

Subject: [SFBirds] Red Knot still at Crissy Lagoon Monday evening |
Hi all
Still ridiculously hot at Crissy at around six this evening, but the few birds that were around were hanging in there - and a bit of westerly breeze helped. The Red Knot was busy foraging at the margins of the small island toward the west end, hard to pick up at first as it was at some distance. It shared the island with, among others, a curious, rather rufous breasted immature DC Cormorant, a pair of Killdeer (one pretty stationary on small rocks - a nest??) and a Caspian Tern that sat and preened in complete disregard as the Knot foraged practically at its feet (!).
I also caught a tantalizing glimpse of a somewhat stubby looking streaked brownish bird that vanished into the reeds along the southern shore, possibly a Rail, but it made no further appearance. As I was walking back there was a flurry of Swallows at the east end, with a few Tree, Barn and a couple of the Cliff Swallows that David noted nesting further west. The breeze then seemed to die down again, so...; still, kinda nice to visit with the heat rather than the usual fog and cold wind.

Subject: [SFBirds] Alan’s Summer Tanager, Nestling Creepers, and ghost squirrels |
Hi all,
Like Alan, I was making the Lincoln Park/east wash rounds again this
morning. Yesterday’s vagrants must have thumbed it outta there but I
enjoyed some interesting findings nonetheless. I think I saw the bird Alan
suspected to be a Summer Tanager. It was fairly still for a couple minutes
in the prominent eucalyptus at the west side of the bottom of the east
wash. Drab green coloring, no wing bars, and a very long-looking round but
not conical bill.
The presumed same Swainson’s Thrush has been singing at the wash for 3ish
weeks now — another sang in the riparian where the fire road (?) heads down
from the 4th hole fairway to the Land’s End hiking trail. Tied for the
coolest thing today were the extremely good views of the inside of a Brown
Creeper nest cavity, as the little freckley fellas chose a pretty wide one.
The 3 nestlings kept shoving themselves into the cavity roof, basically
creeping in place. It was fascinating and funny to witness.
Equally fabulous were the ghosts of 🐿s (squirrels in case the emoji
doesn’t show up) chomping on pine and cypress cones all over the place. Try
as I might, I could not find a rodent or even a jay causing all of the
racket one usually associates with foraging for seeds. Finally it dawned on
me. The heat wave is causing the serotinous (resin-sealed) cones to burst,
as if the seedlings were being dispersed by wildfire. At one of the pines
that was especially loud and generous along the Eagle’s Pt trail, I even
got to see the seedlings fluttering to the ground on their “wings.”
Gotta love spring!

Subject: [SFBirds] Misc sightings |
This morning a tanager called briefly from the trees between the East Wash and the 3rd T. It sounded to my ears more like a Summer than a Western but I never saw it. There was a Red Crossbill calling along the path to the 3rd T and later another Crossbill singing in the trees along the maintenance road by the De Young. A Red-breasted Nuthatch was calling along the coast trail between the east wash and Eagle Point.
Sunday there was a Lazuli Bunting in the newly restored open area at the foot of the steps leading down from Inspiration Point in the Presidio. At El Polin there was a Bewick's Wren and a Mockingbird. I didn't see David or his Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The Olive-sided Flycatcher was calling from a nearby tree top. It would be great if we could confirm its nesting. The Presidio seems to be cutting a lot of the old pines and it would tragic if they cut down the trees that one of the City's last Olive-sided Flycatcher nests in.

Yesterday at El Polin Spring, after seeing the ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, I also observed a singing male LAZULI BUNTING below Inspiration Point - there was also a female in the vicinity. A family of WILSON'S WARBLERS has been flying back and forth across the path at the foot of the stairs going up the hill.

An "Aleutian" Cackling Goose was with California Gulls on South Lake Merced this morning (6/9/2019.)
A couple of days ago a House Wren was observed carrying food to a cavity in a eucalyptus tree at the west end of Pine Lake Park. Presumably the same pair used the same cavity last year. These are the only documented records of House Wren breeding in San Francisco so far.

Hey Oh,
I was able to relocate the Am Redstart a few hundred yards up el Camino Del Mar, maybe 150 yards up from hole 17. N side of the road, foraging high in the various eucs. So hard to find visually, but it sang steadily away for over an hour. A tantalizing vireo made a Houdini appearance as well. It was warbling-like but had more yellow and a black eye-line. I didn’t get any other details. Probably Red-eyed vireo(?).
Good vagrant chasing!

Subject: [SFBirds] Western Kingbird and other local interest |
After leaving the RED KNOT at Crissy Lagoon this morning, I did a loop around the Presidio, starting with Battery Godfrey (nothing unexpected), and then moving to Mountain Lake Park, where a WARBLING VIREO was singing, and a WESTERN TANAGER was on the hillside south of the park. I also heard what I thought was a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, makings its "turlee" call, but I couldn't find it to confirm. Spent the last part of the morning at El Polin Spring, where the two surprises were a late WESTERN KINGBIRD, and a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH. I also had a WESTERN TANAGER, a continuing OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, at least one PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, and at least seven WILSON'S WARBLERS. There are lots of newly fledged birds everywhere - yesterday I had a newly fledged WESTERN BLUEBIRD at El Polin, and a newly fledged NUTTALL'S WOODPECKER at Fort Mason. CLIFF SWALLOWS are in nests near the Warming Hut at Crissy Field - hope they are successful.

I was here for 5 minutes before it came out into the open. Lovely sunny
day, making for great views. Stayed out for 10 minutes to feed and explore.
Very active, even in the wind. Called with a few chipping notes before

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Blue Grosbeak |
Lucky Daniel - he arrived just after the Blue Grosbeak popped out into the open. Cliff Y had been following the bird for perhaps two hours when I arrived at about 5:15, and a few other observers came by as well. The Grosbeak had been scared off by Scrub Jays but returned to favored hiding places in the shrubs and adjacent perches, eventually venturing out onto the north slope grasses to graze. Moderately cooperative - it kept its distance and would not allow Cliff to get close-ups, but it remained in view intermittently for at least a half hour, silent, later settling down and feeding on seeds.
Also of note: a House Finch was hover-feeding - repeatedly hovering over the tall grasses as they blew about in the wind to grab seeds. First time I've seen such behavior from this species.

I know this is really a San Francisco County sighting but I’m not on that listserve. Feel free to forward.
To our astonishment, a pair of adult Ancient Murrelets with a roughly half-grown chick spent much of today just off the East Landing at Southeast Farallon Island. Ancient Murrelets are not known to breed south of southern British Columbia or perhaps the Washington coast. This species takes their 1-2 chicks to sea when they are only 2-3 day old downy fluffballs.
The murrelets were seen from both boat and shore. In the late afternoon, we watched from the island as the two adults made repeated dives, coming up with food that was fed to the chick. Very fascinating!
Murrelets take their chicks far distances. Given the size of the chick, I doubt it originated from Southeast Farallon. But the origin will be fun to speculate and discuss.
U.S Fish and Wildlife Service volunteer Michael Pierson got lots of great photos. A couple are included in his ebird checklist from the day, which have birds from the Golden Gate to the island. Attached is a link to Michael’s checklist, shared with me.
Brown Boobies continue out here. One was on Sugarloaf today.

Subject: [SFBirds] Ash Throat Botanical Gardens |
On a relatively slow day in the Botanical Gardens, Nicolas F, Max B,
Sabrina C, and I found an Ash Throated Flycatcher near the succulent
garden. It was quickly mobbed by a Black Phoebe and flew towards Cali
Native section. Nothing much else of interest. Cooperative Allen’s was also
good.

Started the day at Fort Mason, meeting up with Juan Garcia. No new migrants today. Unfortunately someone vandalized the tree in front of the tennis courts, tearing off the limb that contained the active Nuttall's Woodpecker nest, presumably dooming the young. Moving on to El Polin Spring, the news was better. The continuing OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER has found a mate! The male was no longer singing, and was making courtship calls as the two flew around the trees above the parking lot. A few migrants were found as well, including a WARBLING VIREO, a WESTERN TANAGER, and a LAZULI BUNTING. Final stop was Crissy Lagoon to look for a Red-Necked Phalarope, which wasn't there, but the surprise bird was a male BLUE-WINGED TEAL south-east of the bridge.

If you want close viewing of Red-necked Phalaropes, at least five are swimming around the boat docks at the Pacific Rowing Club, S. Side of entrance road to Harding Golf Club at Lake Merced. One is about three feet from me. Nice, but no unusual gulls here at the moment.

Before Dominik's timely post of the Blue Grosbeak sighting, I started the day at Fort Mason, where the only migrant was a WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE in the Battery, At the Palace of Fine Arts, the two resident MUTE SWANS were zealously guarding six chicks as the roamed the lawns. And at El Polin Springs, the OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was still calling. Also saw a newly fledged HUTTON'S VIREO. However, the BLUE GROSBEAK at Corona Heights stole the day (pictures attached).

Subject: [SFBirds] BLUE GROSBEAK Corona Hill 5/30/2019 |
There's a male BLUE GROSBEAK coming to feed periodically in a cotoneaster on the south east face of Corona Hill.
Caveat. The bird is in an area not readily visible from public trails and it will take lots of patience to get a look. It's loud call note CAN BE HEARD from the garden in front of the museum, the area behind the museum where the Indigo Bunting was two weeks ago, or from the trail next to the fence on top of the hill looking to the southeast.
Good luck,

Subject: [SFBirds] Cliff House Sea-watch, 5/27: Parasitic Jaeger et al. |
This morning (5/27, 7:00-8:15), Hugh Cotter and I did another sea-watch from the Cliff House terrace.
Winds were again out of the W-NW, though significantly lighter than yesterday. Birds were in smaller numbers than yesterday, and there were no near-shore feeding frenzies. But there were still some interesting sightings.
At 7:10 I observed 2 RHINOCEROS AUKLETS flying N, then turning NW further out to sea with a group of 8 Common Murres.
At 7:35 we observed well an adult PARASITIC JAEGER flying N out from the rocks, then turning NE and heading into the Golden Gate Channel. While this nearshore jaeger is rather early (we typically do not observe them from shore in SF until mid-late July), perhaps its occurrence is less surprising in light of the recent incursion of Elegant Terns.
Speaking of the latter, we observed 40+ ELEGANT TERNS this morning, all concentrated within the GG Channel and visible from various coastal points (including Battery Godfrey).
There were 5 HEERMANN'S GULLS observed this morning, including an alternate-plumaged individual, and 1 imm. Glaucous-winged Gull.
There was a small movement of loons flying N, including 1 Common and 8 Pacifics. There were also 4 Surf Scoters flying off the Cliff House and 6 observed on the water below Battery Godfrey.
A quick visit to the East Wash and Ft. Miley produced a Swainson's Thrush singing from an open perch near the top of the Wash and a pair of Cooper's Hawks engaged in a courtship display-flight.

Subject: [SFBirds] Cliff House Sea-watching, 5/25 & 26: Elegant Terns et al. |
Yesterday (5/25, 7:30-9:00 AM) and today (5/26, 7:15-9:45 AM) I did some sea-watching from the Cliff House terrace, with Hugh Cotter yesterday, and joined for part of the time today by birders Max and Joachim.
There were brisk NW winds yesterday followed by very strong NW winds today, with good visibility both days, until rain squalls came in and ended my watch this morning. Most of the activity was focused on moving "feeding frenzies" off of Ocean Beach S of the rocks, and comprised primarily of hundreds of Brandt's Cormorants, Brown Pelicans, California and Western Gulls, and Common Murres.
Most interesting for this time of year were the high numbers of ELEGANT TERNS -- 70+ yesterday (most scoped in a single offshore flock) and 180+ this morning, with 150+ counted at one time in the offshore flock, and others coming in closer to shore in the feeding frenzy. A single FORSTER'S TERN briefly visited the feeding frenzy this morning and there were 10+ Caspian Terns each morning.
Early HEERMANN'S GULLS are present with 8-10 yesterday and 3 this morning, all second-summer birds. Lingering gulls included an imm. HERRING GULL on the beach this morning and 2-3 imm. Glaucous-winged Gulls each morning.
Alcids were represented both mornings by 1000+ Common Murres in many flocks on the water and in-flight and 2-3 Pigeon Guillemots.
Getting late was a fly-by basic-plumaged Red-throated Loon this morning (spotted by Joachim).
A small California Sea Lion was on the rocks each morning amidst the cormorants and pelicans.

Subject: [SFBirds] Indigo Bunting, Ash-Throated Flycatcher |
The wind made birding challenging at Fort Mason this morning, but the one migrant seen was a good one - an INDIGO BUNTING east of the garden. Lots of nesting activity still going on - an ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD sitting on a nest below the Battery, NUTTALL'S WOODPECKERS feeding young in a nest hole, PYGMY NUTHATCH nests near the tennis courts, recently fledged SONG SPARROWS begging, and newly fledged HOUSE FINCHES with the feathered "horns." Spent a short time at El Polin Springs, where the OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was still singing constantly, and a male BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK was singing south of the spring. Also saw an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, a WESTERN TANAGER and a LAZULI BUNTING. Also heard some interesting chatter near the spring that reminded me of a Chat, but I never saw the bird, and it started to rain hard at that moment, and the bird stopped vocalizing.

An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER singing non-stop at El Polin Spring this morning was a reminder that Olive-Sided Flycatchers used to nest in the Presidio, but are now heard only during migration. There were a number of other migrants that were actively feeding and singing. Heard two BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, and watched a male feed on berries. At least three WARBLING VIREOS were in the area of the spring. A WESTERN WOOD PEWEE and an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER put in brief appearances on the hillside. A YELLOW WARBLER was singing near the parking lot, and there were at least two WESTERN TANAGERS moving through. A newly fledged CALIFORNIA SCRUB JAY was following one of its parents, begging for food.

Highlight of a visit to Mount Davidson this morning was an adult male
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK moving mid-level near the 4-x trail intersection
above the Myra Way entrance.
Perhaps rarer, given the season, was a very late RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET near
the summit.
Other migrants on the mountain included two or three Lazuli Buntings, two
Yellow Warblers, two Townsend's Warblers (also getting a bit late) and one
each Warbling Vireo and Western Tanager.

Subject: [SFBirds] A Black Swift, a soaring cormorant and some more fledglings |
Hi all
An odd late morning wandering about the Rhododendron Dell in Golden Gate Park. There wasn't much diversity - no finches (!) or flycatchers, but there were singing Song Sparrows everywhere. The highlight was a Black Swift that flew rapidly overhead, headed south. I've previously only seen this species while hiking in the mountains above the Yuba River area years ago, so that was a real treat. A bit later I was just as surprised to see a Double-crested Cormorant soaring - soaring! - like a hawk, far above, for a minute or so before heading off toward the bay. A pair of Scrub Jays engaged in some courtship, sharing food, then sunbathing. And there were the telltale twitters of baby birds: I saw newly fledged Juncos and Song Sparrows being fed. Nice!

I came down to the Campbell Street steps in hopes of seeing the Ash-throated Flycatcher reported this morning (county-year birding is a degenerative condition.). I haven’t seen one yet, but the Gray Flycatcher is putting on a fantastic show for me right now. Half way up the steps.

Birdsters!
Just 100 yds up the stairs at the Campbell Ave entrance to McLaren Park.
The thicket on the n side is awesomely productive this morning. Gray
Flycatcher (all the id ticks from Dom’s last week including great
vocalizations and downward tail flicking), Yellow Warbler, Wilson’s
Warbler, Ash-throated Flycatcher, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler which popped
out of some coyote brush. Also what I thought was a “spitting” female
Lazuli Bunting but it was also giving off Cowbird vibes. There seemed to be
two spitters until I realized it was the Gray Flycatcher whitting back at
the mystery bird.
This is right next Vis Valley Middleschool so if you come through, be
careful where you’re pointing those cameras and binskis.
Good birding,
Dan Scali, SF
