Crissy Field, SF King Eiders
Hi, all,
a pair of female King Eiders were recently spotted at Crissy Field in SF. It is believed that they might be the same two female King Eiders that were hanging around in Ventura for a few weeks or so. Folks with scopes might try out by Pt Arena to keep an eye out for them - the pier area... they seem to like smallish bays and piers.... so keep an eye, er, scope out. In Ventura they were pretty close in to shore. They drifted in and out at Crissy Field. They have not been seen since yesterday (?) David Assman reported them on CALBIRDS.

Hi Lisa, Hi All,
These two females may have been seen at Point Arena Pier on Saturday, but no
photos. Mel Smith is a pretty good birder, and he believes he and his wife
saw them. I have some good photographers keeping watch!
A little more news from the south coast. One of the Gualala Bald Eagles seen
on Friday flying with nesting materials. It seems this couple nests later
than other eagles?
The presumably male Osprey I've been watching in Anchor Bay is still here,
and occasionally works on bringing lichen-covered sticks to the nest site. I
watched an encounter between him and a group of Common ravens last week.
Seems like the Ospreys always win.
