Connor Cochrane Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) It’s time we start this topic up. Shorebird migration has been underway for awhile, but it’s just started for most passerines, so I don’t think it’s too late to start.

kansabirdguy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 quick question. I heard a Louisiana Waterthrush the other day. I have not heard one in over a month. Is this a sign of fall migration or not? I had just assumed that it had found a different creek to be in for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLong Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The first large group of Elegant terns in SM Co since around July 24th have been roosting in Pillar-Point Harbor. Early Lesser Scaup, GWTE, and BWTE have been spotted in Nob Hill Pond. Early Common Goldeneye at San Bruno Point 2 Wilson's Phalaropes at Nob Hill Pond Early Yump at Oyster Point And assuming Lake Mead and the Farallon's haven't changed since last season they probably have 15 sp of warbler and like 70 code 3s or something idk the Farallons are just wack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I had my FOS Willow Flycatchers today- 12 of them! Also had my FOS Warbling Vireo as well. The Grosbeaks, Tanagers, and Lazuli Buntings have all been around for about two weeks. The different warblers started showing up a little less than a week ago. So far I've had Yellow, Wilson's, Orange-crowned, and Yellowthroat this fall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is extremely embarrassing- I'm pretty sure that most, and probably all, of the birds I have been calling Black Terns are just congregating Common Nighthawks. I just somehow missed the white stripe on the wings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I got back from Montana today and had my FOF Western Tanager in my yard. This is the time of year when they usually start to arrive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your neck of the woods is probably like Colorado where they can be found on top of buoys or on posts in lakes. But, you may not be able to see them with the naked eye. Put the binoculars up or use the zoom on your camera/scope to find them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
