Subject: [SFBirds] Corona HIll sightings
This morning (10/10) I was joined by 27 birders who braved the cold winds
for a fun loop around the hill.

Some highlights:

Canada Goose - lone fly over, only the 2nd time seen over the hill in 2026

Anna's Hummingbird - JR Blair spotted a female collecting Coyotebrush
fluff, nesting season has begun

Merlin - we watched this bird for over 20 minutes at distance perched on
top of Buena Vista Park. It dropped down after harassment from a Steller's
Jay and within 30 seconds swooped over the group on Corona Hill for a brief
up close view

Violet-green Swallows - a flock of ~25 migrated over head as we were
wrapping up

EVENING GROSBEAK - irruption continues, a lone female flew by at eye level
as the group was assembling in the museum parking lot calling once

RED CROSSBILLS (Type 2/Ponderosa) - another species irrupting on the coast.
A flock of ~12 briefly landed a pine over the museum garden, several more
flew over calling during the course of the morning.

The next Corona Hills walk is tentatively scheduled for 11/17. I will post
to the list if this changes.

Other sightings of note from Corona Hill the past week:

BROAD-WINGED HAWK - HY flew over the museum mid-morning 10/7

EVENING GROSBEAK - 2 flew over late morning 10/8

LAWRENCE's GOLDFINCH - 2 flew over 10/2

RED CROSSBILL - 18 flew over 10/6


Happy Fall Birding,

Dominik Mosur
San Francisco

Subject: [SFBirds] Sausalito Pelagic with the Yolo Bird Alliance - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18TH
Greetings San Francisco Birders!

On behalf of the *Yolo Bird Alliance*, Emmett Iverson and I are excited to
announce an upcoming *pelagic trip out of Sausalito on Sunday, October 18th*.
We will spend *10 hours aboard the Outer Limits*, aiming to spend as much
time offshore as possible in search of pelagic species. Our exact route
will depend on weather and sea conditions on the day of the trip, but we
will likely spend much of the day exploring the deeper waters beyond
continental shelf and around the Pioneer Seamount.

The trip is filling quickly, but there are still a few spaces available on
the trip. *The price is $175 for general admission and $120 for students.*
Please contact Emmett and I at *<yolobirdalliance...>
<yolobirdalliance...>* to sign-up or with any questions.
https://yolobirdalliance.org/event/yolo-bird-alliance-pelagic-from-sausalito/

It has already been an interesting year in offshore Northern California
with late-summer reports of hundreds of *Cook's Petrels* and a more recent
invasion of *Black-vented Shearwaters* and *Black Storm-Petrels*. October
is an especially good time to see *Flesh-footed Shearwater, whales, and
storm-petrels*. An August trip aboard this same vessel was fortunate enough
to encounter a *Streaked Shearwater*, and with the record-breaking El Nino
well underway in the east Pacific, the potential for rare seabirds may be
higher than ever this year.

We hope to see many of you on board!

Happy fall,
Zane Pickus
Davis, CA

*Thursday, October 8, 7:00 pm - Zoom*
*Endemic Birds of the US and Canada - Alvaro Jaramillo*

When birders travel abroad, they are always interested in seeing the “endemic” birds. These are birds that cannot be found elsewhere; they are special to the country or region visited. Even if you are not a world lister, endemics are appealing as they are birds that are specialized to a small sector of the world in many cases. They are sometimes also threatened or endangered. What I find fascinating is that most birders in the US have not asked the question, “What are the endemics of the US?” How about the specialties in Canada? This talk covers these endemics and gives viewers an idea of which birds are truly special in the ABA birding area. Which ones can't be found anywhere else on Earth? *REGISTER:* https://bit.ly/4rtV9IN

Subject: [SFBirds] Am Redstart & Chestnut-sided Warbler at Pine Lake park
Hello you all,

After looping east along the north side of the lake at 3:30 pm with meager
results I decided to follow the path going further east on the south side
of the big field, wondering about interesting migrant/vagrant sparrows.
What appeared instead (less than 100m from the lake) were first a female
American Redstart in the riparian-like border and then a female
Chestnut-sided Warbler. They appeared to be finding good victuals in a Big
Leaf Maple, an Alder, and other habitat.

Good Migrating,
Dan

Initially flushed from almost underfoot as I was setting up to hawkwatch on
top of the hill. It was ranging widely around the grasslands on the west
side; very flighty and taking off several times when hikers approached.
Last seen flying up into the Monterey Pine along Museum Way just as the
street ends at the museum parking lot.

Happy Fall Birding,

Subject: [SFBirds] recent observations: Parula, Redstarts and Corona Heights October Walk date change

Some fun observations from the past few days:

American Redstart(s) - adult males at Middle Lake and Lincoln Park Golf Course (the "calliope tree") on Monday, 9/28, were continuing birds found earlier last week. This morning, 9/30, a new American Redstart at Pine Lake Park was a hatch year male/female type AKA "Yellowstart"

Northern Parula - was at Middle Lake 9/28, high up in the blooming eucalyptus tree above the tobaccos at the base of the hill at the sw corner of the lake. Also heard here was a getting late Selasphorus (Rufous more likely by this date but you never know.)

Yesterday a White-tailed Kite flew over Corona Hill shortly before noon. A small flock of Vaux's Swifts (~12) spent about a half hour foraging low over the Randall Museum mid-morning. Typically the swifts just blast through museum airspace so it was cool to get to watch them at close range for an extended period of time.

The Corona Heights Walk is going down next Month but on the SECOND Saturday 10/10 instead of the usual third Saturday.

You can sign up for it here:
https://randallmuseum.org/birding-the-hill/

Can't promise we'll see a Clark's Nutcracker but I'm sure we'll have a surprise or two.

Happy Fall Birding to All,

Dominik Mosur

Subject: [SFBirds] RBR: American Redstart, Log Cabin Trail
Hi All,

This morning I had a female-type American Redstart on the Log Cabin Trail
with a large mixed flock approx. here:
(37.7701073, -122.4743883).

I covered central and some of east Golden Gate Park for the roundup
(Strawberry Hill, Elk Glen Lake, Log Cabin Trail, Rhododendron Dell) but
had nothing else of note. Decently migranty, Log Cabin Trail was definitely
the birdiest spot of the morning.

Happy September,
Joachim Gonzalez

Subject: [SFBirds] Vesper Sparrow Lincoln Park GC
Hi SFBirds,

Travis, Ryan Lemon, and I stopped at the course, starting from the
clubhouse, on our way to the Round Up at Battery Godfrey. We checked along
hole 18 and 17 before reentering on El Camino and making our way along the
driving range (37.784431, -122.494898).
The VESPER was seen at the bottom of the hill, then flew up along the north
edge, and then appeared to fly and land on the fairway two holes to the
south. We were limited by time and golfers so didn’t check other holes for
Spizella sp.

This is the first new sparrow I can recall from the golf course, other than
the Clay-coloreds and Lark last year, since I’ve been paying attention.

Good Birding,
Dan

Subject: [SFBirds] San Francisco Rare Bird Round Up - Saturday, Sept 26th.
All,
For anyone who might be who might be interested, an informal Rare Bird
Round Up will happen this Saturday, Sept 26th, 2026.

The goal is for birders to spread out across the City and see what can be
found rarity wise and report their findings. There are no assigned
locations.

Some of the participants are then meeting up at Battery Godfrey at 12.30 PM
to do a countdown.
All are welcome. Parking can be challenging at Battery Godfrey and so we
might suggest parking over at Fort Scott or across from Battery Godfrey.

We would ask that sightings are posted to sfbirds or Ebird.

A final list will be developed from all the sightings from the day and a
summary of the day will be issued,

Thanks

Hugh and Alan

Subject: [SFBirds] AMRE push + North Lake migrants
A push of redstart seems underway since last night with several reports
this morning:

- 2 (potentially 3) female types in different parts of North Lake
- A bright male at Middle Lake (reported by a birder named Chris)
- Another bright male reported by David W at the Calliope Tree

North Lake was very active this morning with the following species (on top
of the Red-eyed Vireo David A just reported that I didn't see)

- CANADA WARBLER continuing on the east side of the lake (37.7697683,
-122.5018867), very skulky
- Willow Flycatcher, Western Wood-Pewees, a ton of Western Flycatchers
- Western Warbling Vireos
- Red-crowned Kinglets
- Red-breasted Nuthatch
- Hermit Thrush
- Pine Siskin
- Common Yellowthroats, Wilson's, Townsend's, Northern Yellow,
Yellow-rumped, one potential sordida ssp. Orange-crowned
- 3 Western Tanagers
- 1 Black-headed Grosbeak

The Northern Waterthrush continues at Middle Lake (second hand report)

Worth checking out the whole Chain of Lake and also the areas surrounding
the lakes which are usually underbirded.

Happy birding,

Dario

Subject: [SFBirds] Parula, (cont.) Tennessee and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Orange-crowns
Yesterday mid morning there was a NORTHERN PARULA with Yellow Warblers in
the row of Metrosideros along Legion of Honor Dr. (it's 34th Ave. until
crossing into Lincoln Park at Clement) across the street from the parking
lot for the Golf Course.

At the "Calliope Tree" ( the blooming pink eucalyptus next to the teeing
area for 10th hole) a TENNESSEE WARBLER found several days back by Joachim
Gonzalez continued along with a getting late Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird.

A ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK was in the West Wash at the west edge of the 5th
Hole.

Additional Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were found on Sunday 9/19 at the
trailhead for Laguna Honda Canyon/Steep Ravine Trail across from the
Reservoir and this morning Daniel Scali located another one around the
Horseshoe Pits in East Golden Gate Park which a few minutes later flew down
to McLaren Lodge.

Orange-crowned Warblers have been weird this fall. I've seen only a handful
of the Pacific ssp. _lutescens_ and just about every one noted in the past
few weeks has looked like a _sordida_ or "Gray-headed" , _celata/orestera_.
If you are out birding with a camera and come across an Orange-crown please
try to get some good photos so that maybe we can figure out what's going on.

Happy fall migrant hunting,

Dominik Mosur

Hola hola,

Who knows if it is the same bird found by Joachim last week, .25 mile away.

If things stick, it’s a good chance to listen to its chip next to Yellow
Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Townsend’s Warbler, and
Orange-crowned Warbler. Especially if you want to practice hearing through
traffic.

Peace,

Subject: [SFBirds] Corona Hill 3rd Saturday walk 9/19/26
Our walk was highlighted by a CLARK'S NUTCRACKER that spent a few minutes
obligingly posing for photos in the treetops on the north side hill before
flying NW in the direction of Buena Vista Park.

The first fall male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK continued for a 4th consecutive
day . This morning it was feeding on figs next to the Community Garden
above States Street.

A couple of American Kestrels flew over at the end of the walk so it may be
another good day for raptor watching when the overcast clears.

Happy Fall Birding to all ,

Just had a single CLARK’S NUTCRACKER heading south over Mansell St. in McLaren Park approximately 37.717974, -122.415994. The bird circled once over the ridge before dropping down to the south. Unsure if it landed in the pines on the south-facing slope or if it continued south.

Lots of great hilltops and viewpoints across this gem of a park. Other highlights this morning from the Mansell ridge have been multiple RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH and a MERLIN briefly soaring before heading south.

Subject: [SFBirds] Raptor Migration update from Hawk Hill
Hello SF Birders,

Coming to you from GGRO Hawkwatch over on Hawk Hill with an update on
raptor migration!

Today 9/18 we had our first official BROAD-WINGED HAWK sightings of the
season (14 birds, a mix of juveniles and adults). It's time to keep an eye
out for them over the city! MERLINS have been on the move, with a few
sighted each day this week. In addition, today at about 13:50 we were
ecstatic to see the season's first FERRUGINOUS HAWK, which came down from
the north ridge, gave us good looks from Hawk Hill before taking off toward
the city over the Bay.

A GOLDEN EAGLE was also seen today out to the east over the Bay, moving
south. An adult PEREGRINE FALCON gave us quite a show by diving repeatedly
at a COOPER'S HAWK over Rodeo Lagoon.

Acciptitrines have been strong with good numbers of both SHARP-SHINNED and
COOPER'S HAWKS being counted regularly and moving through the headlands.

As a reminder you can see Hawkwatch daily updates HERE
<https://www.parksconservancy.org/programs/daily-hawk-count> with all the
count numbers and blog reports! Also, Hawk Hill is OPEN to the public again
this year. The construction is finished and it's a great time to visit the
Hill as we come into peak time for fall raptors.

Good Hawkwatching to all!

Jenna Magee

I've been skywatching from my roof this afternoon. Raptor movement has been
good. However the main headline is that five CLARK'S NUTCRACKERS (amidst an
ongoing irruption) flew north over my house and at least briefly landed in
the euc grove at the southwest corner of Bernal Hill,
here: 37.742240,-122.410474.

I am not sure if they are still on the hill. But worth a shot!!

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Black-vented Shearwater
All



I operated a pelagic trip in Monterey today and there are hundreds of Black-vented Shearwaters there right now, and we saw two Manx. But it is clear that the Black-vents are massively moving north right now. Also on the 10th there were a lot of them in Morro Bay where they are not always around at this time of year in most years. This is a year when there will be more in SF county, absolutely no doubt in my mind.



Their move northward has little to do with El Niño though, the main effect of the El Niño happens entirely outside of the distribution of Black-vented Shearwater. What is more likely the case here is the marine heat wave in Mexico/southern California. Or inshore warm water moving north, which can happen in fall/winter in what is known as the Davidson Current. But this is separate from El Niño. There may be correlations, or what they call “teleconnections” but these are different events, and it is good to try and keep them separate as sometimes we can have marine heat waves entirely outside of El Niño years, and they can show some similar effects.

Subject: Re: [SFBirds] Black-vented Shearwater



While scoping around 8 AM, the B-v Shearwater entered my view, and I was able to follow it long enough to see the discerning field marks and flight style. It flapped a lot with quick wingbeats, and glided/sheared some, showed relatively short, somewhat rounded wings, had more body length in front of the wing, while appearing a little back heavy in the shorter rear portion. The plumage was brownish dorsally and on the vent, while the belly and underwing were off-white, and the throat/neck were muddy white-brown. It stayed low over the surface, banking a little as it flew off southward. Unlike August of '25, when the only other northern sighting was a single bird in Monterey County shortly before mine, there have been many Black-venteds moving up the coast for some weeks, with as many as 30 spotted yesterday off of the San Mateo coast. If the movement continues northward, as in the last super-Nino, they could be present in numbers off of SF soon.



There was also a big increase in Parasitic Jaegers, with roughly 15 mostly white morphs harassing terns, gulls ,and each other. Over at North Lake in GG Park, the Northern Waterthrush found yesterday by David was still present, mostly at the south end, but also near the north island. And David's Chestnut-sided Warbler was still present in early afternoon at Dragonfly Creek, visible from the nursery and the trail on the other side of the riparian area.

Subject: [SFBirds] Corona Hill 9/16/26 - Dusky Orange-crowned Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, bird walk this Saturday
This morning on the north side of the park, accessed from the 15th Street
gate by the tennis courts, I observed a Dusky Orange-crowned Warbler
(sordida ssp. that nests on the Channel Islands) working the thickets
behind the blue house. This is probably a returning individual; one was
observed here throughout fall and early winter of 25-26. A first fall male
Rose-breasted Grosbeak was in the same area and seemed to be making its way
toward one of the backyard feeders.

I continue to see House Finches in the park showing symptoms of Avian Pox.
If you put out feeders or water for birds please step up the cleanings.

The 3rd Saturday "Birding the Hill" starts at 8 a.m. 9/19 in front of the
Randall Museum. You can sign up here:

Just a note to the group that on REAL maps there is no such place as Russ
Bright Park.
Sue Bierman was an activist and politician who did a lot of work for SF,
including helping to stop the construction of a freeway through the
panhandle. She was honored by having a park named for her, one that was
reclaimed from demolished freeway ramps, and that also seems to be a draw
for unusual bird species. It seems appropriate to continue to honor her,
rather than supplanting her name with that of a white male birder.
