Date: 5/15/24 2:50 pm From: Ryan DiGaudio via groups.io <rdigaudio...> Subject: [northbaybirds] Yellow-breasted Chat in Inverness Park
At around 9:00 this morning there was a Yellow-breasted Chat singing from the willow and blackberry thicket across the street (SFD) from the Inverness Park Market. It was clearly audible from the IP Market's front porch. As is typical of Chats, the bird declined to show itself (despite a few pishing attempts). But the song was unmistakably Chat. The area it was singing from looks like good chat habitat- wishful thinking but it would be cool if he decides to stick around and attract a mate.

Date: 5/15/24 2:04 pm From: Dominik Mosur via groups.io <dominikmosur...> Subject: [northbaybirds] some belated observations (Mother's Day 5/12/24)
Sunday morning at Rush Creek OSP/Binford Rd. pond , there were at least 190 Bonaparte's Gulls on the water visible from the Pinheiro Fire Road, counted around 9:45. I walked back to Binford Rd. to attempt closer looks but virtually all the gulls were gone by 10 a.m., possibly because an adult Bald Eagle had just flown over the pond causing quite a flurry of activity below. Around 11 a.m. there was a singing Yellow Warbler at the Marin/Sonoma County line. It was singing from a willow on the south bank (Marin County) of San Antonio Creek east of the HWY 101 overpass. This spot is accessible by taking Petaluma Blvd. South to where it dead ends. The Yellow Warbler was singing almost constantly in the 45 minutes or so that I was at the site as if trying to stake out a nesting territory. I'm not aware of any recent (last decade) confirmations of Yellow Warbler in Marin County so perhaps this is of interest to Breeding Bird Atlas surveyors. In the mid-afternoon while on a family hike at Jack London State Park we discovered an active Pacific-slope Flycatcher nest inside one of the historic buildings. Happy Spring, Dominik Mosur San Francisco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Hi All, There 200 Bonaparte's Gulls this afternoon at the Valley Ford Wetlands (at the bridge over Estero American on Franklin School Road on the Marin/Sonoma border). This was a really special treat because they were very close to the bridge and they were not only beautiful but very vociferous and made amazing noises while they fed in the receding wetlands.

Watched a Nuttall's Woodpecker land on stem of a Red-Hot Poker plant seeming to be nectar robbing. (Picture does not show bird just plant.) It spent several minutes working around the flower, pecking each tiny flowerlet, before moving off. While it was there, our yard hummingbird was diving on it, to no avail. That hummingbird often sits near these favorite nectar flowers appearing to be guarding the excellent source on nectar. Has anyone else ever observed a woodpecker nectar robbing? To any birder who might be interested in reading a poem about BIRDCAST and migrating birds at night, click on the link below, and scroll down to May 11 entry of a poem called "BIRDCAST" by David Chorlton. https://newversenews.blogspot.com/ The poem is of interest as it makes use of the relatively new ability for us birders to find out how many birds are migrating at night over their city. Its title, BIRDCAST is a website that allows us to do so. This poem weaves science into its poetry as well as a creative way of expressing poetic thoughts about the amazing millions of birds using the night sky to move on their migration on route.. Most of you probably already know about this website. <https://birdcast.info/> https://birdcast.info Happy birding every day, Meryl Sundove -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

I'm a tad behind the curve in reporting Gulls, Terns, and Swans in northern Marin County. Yesterday evening, Janet and I went birding at the Rush Creek Playa, hoping to find that the subject species had recently been reported. Arriving at the southern end of the playa, we counted 48 Bonapart Gulls. The group showed different levels of plumage. The Bonapart gulls are a striking species. There were three Forester Terns diving; we looked hard for a possible Common Tern, but none were seen. Eighteen Mute Swans and small numbers of Northern Pintails and Gadwal Ducks were seen. Four Red-necked Phalaropes were also present. Yours, Rich Cimino www.yellowbilledtours.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Date: 5/7/24 12:23 pm From: Peter Pyle via groups.io <ppyle...> Subject: [northbaybirds] Dave DeSante's BBS Route - need to pass the baton
Greetings North Bay Birders, I'm looking for someone to take over Dave's BBS Route in Western Marin. He started it in 1971 and I believe it is the longest continuously running BBS route in California. I have been doing it for the past 15 years or so but need to pass it over to someone who can be committed and dedicated to it for at least a few years. BBS data have become instrumental in documenting trends in bird populations at continental, regional, and local scales. They involve driving 25 miles and doing point counts at 50 stops of three minutes each. Observers need to know he local bird vocalizations well, as 85% of detections are by sound. More information on the BBS program is here: https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/ Dave's route begins a bit past the Sky Camp trailhead at the top of Limantour Road, to Bear Valley Road, SFD through Samuel Taylor to the ex-Golf Course, left up Nicasio Valley Road, and then right on Lucas Valley Road to end past the Big Rock trailhead. The time window is May 22nd to June 30th but we have been doing it between the 25th and 10th for consistency. It begins at 05:20 at the first stop and ends around 10-10:30. We usually get 70-80 species and we've had Northern Parula, Indigo Bunting, and Hermit Warbler on past surveys. I will be able to do it this year, on either Friday May 31 or Saturday June 1, and would like to train one or more that day, as Dave did with me when I took over. Having >1 observer trained may be useful down the road. If you'd be willing to make this commitment and can be available either of those days please email or text me. Thanks and good birding!

Having read the reports, Rosita and I left Walnut Creek before 4:30 this afternoon. Many American Avocets were along Hwy 37 as we drove. At the marsh itself, the Bonaparte's Gulls and Red-necked Phalaropes were as advertised. Swallows flying all over the place, too. We had a few Pintails along with Ruddy Ducks and American Wigeon. It was a great show. We continued to my little sister's house south of San Marin High School in Novato. There we watched the feeders in their backyard. Pine Siskins all over the seed feeders and trays, Papa Western Bluebird feeding fledglings, Hooded Orioles coming in, too. Their bird house has an Oak Titmouse family so we saw adults grabbing live meals worms for their kids, too. Holly Merker has it correct, Ornitherapy works. Look for her book of the same name. Hugh B.

To follow on from the thread, there were impressive numbers of Red-necked Phalaropes at Rush Creek (Petaluma Marshes) this evening - best viewed from Binford Road. Lucas Corneliussen and I conservatively estimated a thousand present - quite the sight and all in breeding plumage. Also 115+ Bonaparte’s Gulls there too. No sign of the Tufted Duck today but two late Aleutian Cackling Geese next to Binford Road. Plus I am belatedly reporting over 400 Bonaparte’s Gulls at Bolinas Lagoon on Friday evening too. High numbers of Bonaparte’s Gulls this spring for sure. Enjoy!

Date: 5/2/24 6:30 pm From: Mark Dettling via groups.io <mark.dettling...> Subject: [northbaybirds] White Wagtail (Black-backed), Bolinas
Hi all! Sam Eberhard found a White Wagtail in Bolinas this afternoon around 4pm. It was in the farm field east (lagoon side) of Olema-Bolinas Rd near the Bolinas School. This is a fenced off area so you are viewing from the side of the road with the bird ~100m away. I was able to see it with a group of other birders from about 4:30-5:30. It was still there when I left. The consensus of the birders there was that this was the Black-backed subspecies. Some distant photos will likely be posted to eBird lists this evening, but I don't personally have any. If you decide to look for the bird, there is some parking along the road directly next to the field, but make sure not to block the bike path. It stayed mainly on the open mud on the east side of the field. It made a few short flights but returned to the mud each time. Great find Sam! -- Mark Dettling Lagunitas -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Date: 5/1/24 5:29 pm From: bkeener52 via groups.io <bill.keener...> Subject: [northbaybirds] Black-crowned Night-heron hunting Cliff Swallows at Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds
I was birding with friends today at the Las Gallinas sewage treatment ponds in Novato, and we stopped to watch Cliff Swallows perch on a short strand of barbed wire atop a utility platform. The swallow are nesting under the platform. An adult Black-crowned Night-heron was standing just below them on the platform, and suddenly the night-heron snagged a swallow in mid-air as the swallow took off from its perch. I had never seen this behavior before! We waited for 10 minutes, and watched the night-heron do it again, grabbing a fluttering swallow by its tail and then gulping it down. I didn't have my camera with me, so if someone else can capture this interesting hunting behavior, that would be great. There is a report of a Great Blue Heron catching a fly-by swallow, but I'm not sure this has been observed with night-herons. The place where we stood to observe this activity is 38.028515, -122.517684, which is next to the No Trespassing sign near the northwest corner of Pond 1 (the Wildlife pond). It's as far north as you can walk along the gravel road. The platform where the birds were located is about 100 feet away, across the creek to the west, and not on public land, as far as I can tell. This hunting occurred in bright sunshine at 10:00 am. Good luck. Bill Keener Corte Madera -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

The purple sheen and wind-whipped long flashing tail was diagnostic to me. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Date: 4/30/24 5:12 pm From: Dominik Mosur via groups.io <dominikmosur...> Subject: [northbaybirds] Sonoma County- Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa area 4/27 and 4/29/24
Got a chance to bird some sites in Sonoma County the past few days. On Saturday 4/27 I made several visits throughout the day to Crane Creek Regional Park of Roberts Ranch/Pressley Rd.s east of Rohnert Park. This is a very fun and accessible (128 acres) park for birding that features Oak Savannah, restored Riparian and especially Grassland. Here are some observations I found interesting/notable : White-tailed Kite - foraging over park in the morning and afternoon, likely breeding nearby SWAINSON'S HAWKS - I did not expect to see Swainson's Hawks in the Laguna de Santa Rosa this late into spring. A pair of Light Morph birds were foraging together and interacting over the park and neighboring vineyard/ranchland several hours apart in the early and late afternoon. Based on this behavior it may be that these birds are looking to pair and nest nearby, they were not behaving as migrants just passing through the area do. American Kestrel - our smallest falcon has decreased dramatically in recent decades as a breeding bird in Marin as well San Mateo and San Francisco (nearing extirpation in the last two.) I'm not as familiar with its status in Sonoma but I think it is always worth noting in the breeding season Western Kingbird - a pair was teaming with Red-winged Blackbirds to mob a scrub jay in the tree at the entrance to the park. I initially thought they were defending their nest but turned out the scrub jay was hunting fence lizards. The jay successfully captured its prey, shook the pursuers, then flew with the food into a presumed nest tree/Live Oak north of the parking lot Savannah Sparrow - perhaps a lingering wintering bird, briefly in the tree at entrance driveway to park in the morning only, I'm not aware of nesting Savannah Sparrows in Sonoma County away from the Bayside and immediate coast, Grasshopper Sparrow - several very cooperative individuals found throughout the day at edge park/frisbee golf course On 4/29 Megan Mosur and I Hiked the lower Johnson Ridge Trail from the parking lot at Hood Mountain Regional Park to Merganser Pond in the early afternoon. This is accessed from Pythina Rd. on the north side of HWY 12, across from the east entrance to the Oakmant Active Senior Community. Some observations we found notable here : Mountain Quail - several very vocal birds audible along the two mile route from 800-1600' elevation despite the late hour Turkey Vulture - a pair of birds landing on a steep cliff and hanging around at the base of a fallen tree may have been near a nest site Pileated Woodpecker - very cooperative individual gathering some sort of larvae (carpenter ant, termite?) from a tree it was working just past the parking lot/restrooms. A lifer for Megan and an exciting bird to start the hike. Olive-sided Flycatcher - singing and calling above the burn just above parking lot Chipping Sparrow - a very localized breeder in the Bay Area in recent years, interesting to note one on Pythian Rd at the entrance to the Juvenille Correctional Facility Los Gullicos, not far from the burn. This species is known to move into clear cuts/burns in the Sierra. Western Tanager - vocal at 1600' near Merganser pond, habitat here looks good for this species breeding On the way back to San Francisco as we got on HWY 101 at the Old Redwood Highway on-ramp in N. Petaluma, Megan spotted a precocial juvenile Black-necked Stilt accompanying an adult at the season marsh next the highway. A full trip list from the two days with related checklists can be seen here: https://ebird.org/tripreport/229172?view=checklists Dominik Mosur San Francisco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Hi birders, I found a MGWA singing along Redwood Creek near mm 2.85. It was foraging in the willows 10-20’ high. Easy to hear it took me quite a while to see it. Not a likely nester but may stick around a couple of days. Jim -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

In the spirit of first of season reports I was tardy not to report two OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS on April 20 at Stinson Gulch. Also on that day there was a male BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER in the traditional area just northeast of the Mountain Theatre on Mt Tam. I will also relay a report of LAZULI BUNTING up the trail to Loma Alta from the top of Lucas Valley Road. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Hope everyone's enjoying interesting spring detections. Best of my recent birding outings (including links to my photos at eBird checklist #s, below): 4/25/24: Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, S. Rafael, Marin Co. As noted recently here at this listserv, BLUE-WINGED TEAL remain at the "sludge ponds" that are immediately east of Pond #2 (see the wayside exhibit for orientation next to the bridge trailhead that is adjacent to the parking lot). ONLY two male BLUE-WINGED TEAL remain here, down from the nine total for this species in early April. Perhaps the bonded female-male for this species at the same "sludge pond" that I earlier mentioned here have eloped elsewhere...The remaining "bachelor"(so far) two individuals will likely soon leave, too. Likewise, three remaining CINNAMON TEAL (two male and one female) remain in the same "sludge pond. ( = The "sludge ponds" are inside a football-field size area within a barbed wire fence that is gated.) As for heron family members at this site, Pond #1 continues to have one ongoing GREEN HERON that I noticed on 4/25/24 flying north to a Common Cattail Grove on the north-northwest side of this pond. Ongoing sad news that the Common Raven nest 500' northeast of the pond #2 (and near the Monterey Pine trees that are near the gated boardwalk off the main trail heading north-northeast) looks to be successful with eggs laid. 4/24/24: Bodega Bay Head: Photos of exquisite BRANDT'S CORMORANT & PELAGIC CORMORANT from the parking lot overlook area are at: https://ebird.org/checklist/S170169608 In the Bodega Harbor/main bay, I noticed while leading a tour for two birders one 100% breeding plumage EARED GREBE among the X present across from the horse trailer area. Photos are at my eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S170137388/media 4/19/24: At Five Brooks Pond within Pt. Reyes National Seashore, I noticed one male ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD on a phone line 300' from the parking trailhead. I'm assuming several readers here have also noticed this phone line appears to be an annual perching spot for a male ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD. Photos for this common NBB breeder are at: https://ebird.org/checklist/S169388303 I'll end by noting my enjoyment as a volunteer guide for group I led to this site as one of many volunteer guides for the annual Pt. Reyes Birding Festival group I hosted (My 13th consecutive tour for this fine festival that David Wimpfheimer championed and is coordinated by the Environmental Action Committee of W. Marin ( https://www.eacmarin.org/ ). If you've never gone before, it's always an excellent gathering on the third April weekend annually (Friday-Sunday field trips and other events all weekend.).

Thanks Jeff - Very curious, one or two? Note the only other record in BC was also on June 6 (1997) so an interesting spring vagrant pattern is emerging. That bird was written off as a ship-assist or cage-transported bird so it will be curious to see how this/these records are viewed.

Hi Birders, Today as I sat on our porch on Pleasant Hill Road in Sebastopol, an adult male BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD buzzed past our feeder showing its beautiful violet-colored gorget. I've never seen one in Northern California, but it wasn't an Anna's because the gorget was so purple and confined to the throat (which also rules out Costa's). Later, there was a NASHVILLE WARBLER foraging and singing in a live oak down our hill from that spot. A CHIPPING SPARROW and ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHERS also sang while TREE SWALLOWS jockeyed with bluebirds for our nest boxes. Happy Spring!
