  1. Seen today in Alameda, near San Francisco Bay. I've had Nuttall's Woodpeckers come by our suet feeder, but this is not a Nuttall's. My guess is a female Downy. Thanks in advance for your comments. Downy Woodpecker female by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Downy Woodpecker female 2 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  2. Thanks again for all your help! Much appreciated.
  3. We saw a couple of these yesterday in the Pescadero Marsh Preserve just south of San Francisco. Thanks! Bird 3 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Bird 2 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  4. Unfortunately, we can no longer edit old posts, so now that edited the name of this Flickr photo, I expect it will disappear from the original post above. I am therefore reposting the photo (with corrected name) here. Black Turnstone by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  5. These birds were spotted today just south of San Francisco in Pescadero State Beach. The best I can do is Black-bellied Plover, but I don't really believe it. Thanks for your help. Black-bellied Plover 5 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  6. Hi all, I'd just like to conform (or not) that these are Says Phoebe's. Thanks! Bird 3 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Bird 2 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Bird by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  7. Hi all, Saw this one today a little inland from San Francisco Bay. I thought it might just be a female Stellar's Jay, but doesn't seem so. Thanks! Bird by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  8. Hi all, I don't think I've seen these guys in my backyard before. Seen today in the San Francisco Bay area. Thanks! Stranger by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Sparrow by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  9. Seen at Half Moon Bay just south of San Francisco today (8 Sept) hanging out with a bunch of Brewer's Blackbirds (the Starling, not me). I didn't realize how painfully ugly this poor thing was until I saw the photo at home. Looks like the skin around the face is completely denuded. Is this some transition between summer and winter plumage, or juvenile and winter plumage? Thanks. Ugly Starling by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  10. I'm thinking these are non-breeding Forster's Terns. Thanks for your help. EDIT: Seen on Labor Day in the SF Bay area. Forster's Tern 2 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr Forster's Tern by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  11. Oh, wow. That's a lifer. Thank you! Re-posting photo with correct name: Pelagic Cormorant by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  12. My best guess is that this is a Double-crested Cormorant. Seen near San Francisco Bay the day before yesterday. Thanks for your help. Double-crested Cormorant 3 by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  13. Yay! Thanks, akiley! Here's the same photo with the corrected name. Spotted Sandpiper by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  14. It's spotted. But is it a Spotted Sandpiper? Thanks in advance. Spotted bird by Mark Featherstone, on Flickr
  15. Oh that's great. I've never seen their chicks before. Chicks? Cootlings?
