Birding folks, I just received a text from Derek Lecy, a Marin County-birder. At 12:36 PM he photographed a Masked/Nazca Booby “bombing through” the Golden Gate heading into San Francisco Bay. He was

This morning I arrived later to the park than usual, not leaving the house until almost 8:45. I was out on the dirt trail next to a eucalyptus tree when something caught my eye flying left toward the

Things have seemed to be slow in Heather Farm Park, and I was telling that to a non-birding couple on the west side of the large pond. But as I continued south toward the big oak tree, nearby was a ju

Given all the peep activity down Hayward/Fremont way, I thought it was time to revisit my favorite shorebird spot. Numbers were pretty scant (I suspect that at only 4.5', the tide wasn't high enough t

Lindsay Wildlife received several Vaux's Swift nestlings today that fell out of a nest in a chimney in Martinez. I reached out to Rusty Scalf, who said he thinks this might be the first breeding recor

I spent an hour this Morning hiking the Seaborg Trail in Briones Regional Park. Very few birds. But I did see a Western Screech Owl in the same tree where a Screech Owl was seen several years ago. It

Apologies if this is not an appropriate use of this list. After getting this evening’s photos onto the computer, my daughter and I noticed a lure hooked into the wing of this Brown Pelican. I can’t sa

What seemed fairly quiet turned out to be a pleasant morning. Ted Robertson and I arrived about the same time and quickly saw one adult and two younger Killdeer on the north ball fields. The kids are

This morning and yesterday early evening we observed a Black-headed Grosbeak taking suet from one of our feeders. The bird spent perhaps two minutes feeding. Since I've only observed grosbeaks eating

They snuck a nest into my ash tree. There seems to be activity there. Also seems rather late in the year? The male is bossing the female around every which way from appearances. He is rather noisy and

Again this year we are fortunate to have ash-throated flycatchers nesting in our yard. They are actively feeding young in the nest right now - seems a little late - wonder if it's their 2nd go-round w

Got to Rivers End Marina on Lindemann Rd at 11 am. Positioned the car next to the outhouse for a good view of the hummingbird feeder at the first house. Two Anna's at first, then at 11:05 the female B

Posting for Jim Chiropolos: That caught your attention - huh? Today Derek Heins and I decided to bird Coyote Hills and we saw Jerry Ting - on a bike!!! - at the north Alameda Creek staging area off Un

This afternoon. Heard it chucking before it flew overhead, flying westward towards MacAurthur Blvd. A rare sighting around here. Marcus Pun Video Editor / Producer/Editor / Camera C: 510-384-8085 | H:

Someone (not me) posted a bike ride on Strava https://www.strava.com/activities/3734689326 with a picture of what I believe to be a Merlin (not so great with falcons, but I'm basing this on the chest

I usually refer to it as the summer doldrums, the period after breeding when the fledglings have dispersed with their parents. In Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, it becomes pretty quiet in the morn

Yesterday evening and again this morning we had a Rufus/Allens hummer at the feeder, I can't really tell for sure which one it is, but I thought it was a little early for them to come along. Marilyn W

Sorry about the late report, but I had a single Surfbird at Oro Loma Marsh (Hayward Shoreline). It was in the pickleweed between the two bridges north of Frank's Dump. There were also a couple dozen S
