Hi Birders, Just heard and photographed the (or another?) Indigo Bunting along the Brazil footpath just east of where Brazil St. is closed to cars at the school. Russ Bright

Hi Birders, The Indigo Bunting originally found by Ben and Teresa made a brief singing appearance on the low snag in the ravine NE of the Upper Reservoir about 10:50 this morning. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, Rapid expert feedback has suggested that there may be no accurate way to separate these species where they coexist other than thru voice. In other words, our field guide descriptions and o

Hi Birders, Seems paired with a Eurasian Collared-Dove which makes for a relatively easy comparison. I know nothing about Eurasian Collared-Dove variants, so it is impossible for me to completely rule

Hi Birders, Respected expert opinion has determined that the dowitcher I photographed yesterday was actually a LBDO and possibly the same bird reported by Aaron and David. Not sure what time Aaron fou

Hi Birders, Waders are unusual anywhere in GG Park. A Short-billed Dowitcher was strolling among the gulls at Spreckels Lake this morning c 11:15. Photos are on ebird. I would be surprised if it were

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, This bird has flown, apparently southward. May be worth looking for at Heron’s Head. Photos to be examined and posted later today on eBird. Russ Bright

Just seen with Erica Harris, along the NW boundary fence. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, Often sleepy, smelly and dusty by summer’s end, Pier 94 has had a remarkable late summer adding an amazing 6 or 7 new bird species to it’s eBird hotspot total! It also has provided a new d

No coordinates, several birders looking for it now. Go to Islais Creek at Pier 94, and follow it to dock with yellow loading cart. Pond is just upslope.

Hi Birders, Found 15 minutes ago along Islais Creek, then moved along shore and onto the private property here near a tank, or company pond. Active, not sure how chaseable it may be. Russ Bright SF

Hi Birders, In the shallow surf to the left of Hermit Rock below the overlook. Russ Bright SF

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
