San Francisco Christmas Bird Count - tomorrow is the last day of Count Week
Can someone tell me where the Prairie Warbler was seen? Was it fleeting? I still haven’t seen enough of this bird in my life so it seems chase-worthy. Thanks, Bob Hall SF

Mt. Davidson Question
Good questions. As the eucalyptus plantation continues to age and die out the habitat will likely change. You can compare the eBird checklists from Mt. D’s sibling mountain, San Bruno Mountain. Howeve

After seeing black-throated grey, Nashville w.and yellow warbler at home, I skipped some chores on the hunch that a pulse of migrants was flowing through. I did a bike loop that included GGP Oak woodl

I've already had Nashville, yellow and black-throated gray in my backyard. Could be a good day to skip out on chores.

7/2 Swainson's thrush
Had one still singing at Mountain Lake today. Seems late and interesting. Nothing rare but lots of bird and butterfly action (and tranquility) at Sutro Rotary Meadows today. May be a good escape hatch

Olive-sided flycatcher is back at Sutro Rotary Meadow
I was glad to hear the repeated signing of the bird. Also still singing up there was an orange-crowned warbler. Is it getting late for it to still be singing in the city? I thought they were uncommon

There was a spotted towhee singing in the meadow along with several Wilson's warblers and a pari of singing orange crowned warblers. No sign of the olive-sided flycatcher from last year.
