Greetings,
This morning I observed a Common Murre land in the marsh channel near
the observation platform/boardwalk at Arrowhead Marsh. It swam slowly
out toward the bay. It was a first sighting for me at this location.

I spent yet another fruitless morning looking for Pinyon Jays, this time along Morgan Territory Road. The only sign of the montane irruption was a Cassin’s Finch at the Diablo Bowmen archery range, otherwise all normal. I then spent the afternoon in the delta. At Clifton the winds were 30+ mph, but two Sabines Gulls were acrobatically foraging in them. Afterwards, Holland Tract was completely windless. I turned up 3 Gray-headed Orange-crowns and 3 Cranes, and watched a drone (that makes peregrine falcon sounds) chase a flock of a few thousand blackbirds around the rice fields. Most were Red-winged but I estimated that about 300 were Yellow-headed.
Yesterday, a quick afternoon trip to Landfill Loop produced a Loggerhead Shrike on the landfill’s northern edge. This species is quite rare in Richmond and this was my first sighting. This is presumably the same bird found by Susana de Trapaga here in early September.
Good birding,
Ethan Monk

Ohlone Audubon's Hayward-Fremont CBC will be on Sunday, December 20. For
anyone who doesn't already have an assignment for the Oakland CBC, we'd
love help, as we've lost many leaders over the past two years.

Subject: [EBB-Sightings] FOS Sparrows |
Hello: I woke up Sunday morning to a lovely sight at my birdbath. Two adult White-crowned Sparrows and two juvenile White-crowned Sparrows. They seem a bit early this year. For the past 10 years I've been trying to keep a record of their arrival and numbers. Most years they show up around September 28. Hoping to see more and the Golden-crowned too. Also for the past three years a single White-throated Sparrow has been a part of the group. They stay the winter and leave around the middle of April.
Can anyone recommend a study of their migration pattern from the S. F. Bay Area.Â
Thank you.
