Thank you!

Seen a couple of days ago near SF Bay. Is it a female House Sparrow? Sorry, I know this should be easy.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Western Bluebird

Yes, that sounds right. I guess they gotta start small. WhatFish — I like it! 😄 Thanks!

Hi all, Seen today by SF Bay. I apologize that I am asking for help in identifying this Great Egret’s lunch rather than the bird itself. It seems to be some kind of flatfish, but I am amazed that it is so small. Many thanks, Mark

You can still make your trip with some optimism. This Greater Roadrunner was seen TODAY!!! in Oakland, sister city to San Francisco on the other side of the Bay. Sighting and photo by Scott Gottesman, with thanks to Steve Buffi for bringing this to my attention.

Mourning Dove

I guess you mean Greater Yellowlegs. Oh, I see. I was thinking it had a short neck, but the head is just pulled in close to the body. Thanks!

This one's got me stumped (as is so often the case). Your help much appreciated!

Ah, OK. Thanks very much to both!

This bird was seen a few days ago by San Francisco Bay. I think it's "just" a Herring Gull, but I'd appreciate your input. Thanks!
