For any raptors - diurnal or nocturnal - in trouble, you can always contact Bay Area Raptor Rescue. I’ve just passed the information on to them but anyone can find them through bayarearaptorrescue dot

Yes, just what does all this mean? Is there a major herring spawning event? If so, just where? Has any gull enthusiast been there and checked out the (hopefully) huge hordes of gulls? Any rarities? Ho

Let’s try that again...oops. Obviously never meant to send that first one my microphone picked up. The herring spawn has gone on and on, quite heavy and extensive from the ball park to china basin. Th

I hadn't seen it, or other reports on it for a while, but stopped by Moscone today on an off-chance, and and so was surprised to see it still here, actively foraging between the usual pine and fence.

68 species observed on a leisurely hike from Inspiration Point down to Crissy and back through Fort Scott. Highlights were the continuing Least Flycatcher (usual spot) and Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker (se

A quiet evening at the garden this afternoon (except for the parrots), but some kind folks told me that they noticed a pair of Western Bluebirds that were searching for a nesting area across Pope Rd.

At least one of the GADWALLS was on the Hanson Pond at Pier 94 this morning. One of the wigeons looked like an AMERICAN x EURASIAN WIGEON. The RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER that I've been seeing at Fort Maso

Seen this morning around Lawton. I don't think I'm looking for an ID, but am interested in whether others have seen such a bill shape before. This is my first photo post on the list, so I hope it work

Jan. 14: Noreen and I met a non-birder friends at the Boathouse, for the 3 mile walk around the lakes, which is 5.48 miles per eBird if you use the concrete bridge cut-off. Began by walking down the s

I went to Lake Merced this morning, but the birds were extremely quiet early on. After sitting out the brief rain under a leafless willow, I went back out onto the northeast corner of the concrete bri

Just viewed a southbound swainson’s hawk from my house. This is an exceptional winter record for San Francisco. It was headed toward the Bernal Heights area. Photos will be posted on eBird later. You

Greetings Sf Birders, I would like to know if it is ok to post two photos here of a deceased bird I found in my backyard for identification and guesses to cause of death. Rigor mortise had not set in

Grr. Despite my careful efforts, gmail still screwed up my picture order: 3339 - Lincoln Sparrow? 3710 - Red-shouldered Hawk? 3840, 3849, 3847 - Savannah Sparrow? 4267, 4271 - Mallard hybrid? 4287, 43

Yesterday the previously reported YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER was at the Least Flycatcher stakeout spot - high up in a Cypress tree. And today, at Fort Mason, a BRANT flew over heading north.
