Hi Birders, Pair near the cafe on NE side. Russ Bright

Hi Birders, Good bird for Chinatown...hanging around in Mulberry-like tree at Clay and Kearny now. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, To clarify, this Savannah Sparrow subspecies seems to be a poorly documented wintering bird in SF. And it has not been well-depicted in our popular field guides. P. sandwichensis sandwiche

Hi Birders, This appears to be a Savannah Sparrow, likely P. s. sandwichensis, apparently an uncommon to rare wintering bird in SF along the bay. Thanks to Peter Pyle for recently reviewing my photos

Hi Birders, SOMA, as an understated and minimally descriptive CBC area title, roughly stretches diagonally from Duboce Park to Pier 94 from one corner and from South Beach Marina to Upper Noe Valley o

Hi Birders, The vireo was seen again c 11:40 in the willows near the brown “No Fishing” sign south of the concrete bridge. The towhee continues now just N of the black pipe along the Vista Grande Cana

Hi Birders, After much appreciated peer reviews of my photos, I must concede that I saw a grey Least Sandpiper with a prominent eye-ring at Pier 94 earlier today. Photos, for the moment, are posted as

Hi Birders, Continuing on and around the spit-rail fence along the trail and up to the crags above the dog park on the NW side. Thanks Dominik. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, Pair seen at 11:53AM flying NE just above the coastal cliffs below Fort Miley. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, A pair was visible near the summit just before 11 today, and again about 11:25AM. I think that Aaron Maizlish was also able to record them. Russ Bright SF
