Hi Birders, Saw Semi-palmated Plovers, definitely not Semi-palmated Sandpipers! Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, Bulldozers were bullying a Burrowing Owl on the shipyard landfill today as seen from the garden at Yosemite Slough. The owl was near the large yellow barrel-looking vent (?) and repetitive

Hi Birders, As a correction, Lee has kindly reminded me that she did not see the BTGW on Strawberry Hill yesterday, but rather found it along Stow Lake Drive. Sorry about that! We don’t often get to s

Hi Birders, Thanks Brian for initially refinding this bird, found again today by Lee Guichan on Strawberry Hill and later by Reef (apologies, don’t know your last name) in an oak along the Log Cabin T
