Out of season are three Cackling Geese with the Spreckels Lake/Polo Field Canada flock. First saw them on Spreckels and then saw and heard them fly over to the Polo Field. Steve Schulz San Francisco -

Redheads below la Mesa now. Visible from wooden bridge but scope very helpful as quite distant. Steve

Looking for rare gulls, but found snow, gwf, and cackling geese, 1 of each.

Present briefly about 12:45. Scene from bridge again.

The Pigeon Guillemot numbers stayed low at Pier 48. Only once did I find as many as 3, otherwise there were two in the mornings. Mostly they stayed on the pier. No Red-shouldered Hawk sighting at Rinc

I'm still birding almost entirely in the neighborhood. Last Sunday was the first home day game at Oracle field this season. I was curious too see what conditions would look like since fans weren't all

A little more South of Market local interest. The dog park and south slope of what's left of Rincon Hill just below the freeway between Beale and Delancey Streets has been pretty interesting this spri

Mostly I've been birding in the South Beach/Mission Bay area, so this may be mostly of local interest. The Pigeon Guillemots continue at Pier 48. They do go in and out of holes in the pier, but I have

I was just queried about the location of the PAAU and looking at google/maps I realize I have the rock names wrong. The bird was seen on LOBOS ROCK which is about 150 meters further offshore than Herm

Just so the east side isn't thought to be left out of the phalarope invasion. I had from one to three walking along from Heron's Head, Hunter's Point Shoreline to India Basin. One bird following me? T

In the Huffaker Park area by the house boats this afternoon. A male and perhaps a female also. Steve Schulz San Francisco Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I watched from the Municipal Pier starting at 1:30 pm. I first saw the gannet at 2:30. I'm not sure if it had just arrived or had been there without much movement all along. Since it shows mostly whit

The ducks and shorebirds have mostly moved on so a Red-necked Phalarope was a nice find. It was in the pond closest to the path just past the last interpretive displays. A Turkey Vulture was also circ

I guess I was looking for Tattlers and was going to have Tattlers no matter that they were Surfbirds. I only found two there today. My apologies to the list. Steve Schulz Mobile: 415 608 0160 From: Do

Having struck out for the Wandering Tattlers at the old pier, I walked along the water between Fort Mason and the Yacht clubs. The tide was out and there were ten Tattlers in two groups on the rocks j
