Hi Peter,

Our last Tuesday walk of the season was a good one. The sun even peeked out late in the morning! We had 61 species, with a mix of ducks, including Green-winged Teals and a Ring-necked, sparrows, and lingering warblers, plus a few raptors on the move and our first Tufted Titmouse of the season.

Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S279372857.

Thank you to Sheila, Megan, and Angie for co-leading all season, and the many regulars who've made it such a special group. I can't believe the season's over for us, but I look forward to seeing folks in the months ahead.

Ryan

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S278233219
- Comments: "Presumably rare for early. No photos. Gray and olive-green warbler with almost turquoise tint to upper back feathers. A particularly bright and contrasty individual, larger than Tennessee Warbler, a source of possible confusion, with a pale eyebrow, gray head, and yellow-green below. No wing bars or tail spots. Bill heavier than Tennessee. Foraging waist-high in tops of weeds in Pier 6 wildflower meadow, then flew out to the small patch of lawn SE of here, where I could not relocate it. Typical OCWA behavior--moving fast in the tops of the flowers ,with horizontal foraging posture--defensive strategy more to be constantly on the move than overly skulking."

While welcome, the first rain in weeks had to happen just as our walk started! We decided to head straight to the Pier 3 lawn, where some sparrows have been feeding this week. 

On our way, we spotted a smallish dark duck flying in from the harbor, showing a thickish white stripe under the wings. Upon reaching land, it did a u-turn and went back out to the water. Studying guides later, I'm confident we had a blue-winged teal.

Hoping for better weather next week!

Hi Peter,

It was a quiet day in the park but I'm sure that'll change when these 80-plus temperatures finally break this week. That said we had one very memorable sighting: an adult Peregrine Falcon, perched on a dead tree on the Peninsula, lit up by the sun's rays, let us watch it for at least 20 minutes, and still hadn't moved once we decided to push on. The bird was spotted by a visitor from Portland, Oregon; another visitor in the group, all the way from Karachi, told me it had been his dream to see this bird. The second highlight was a Clay-colored Sparrow on the Nethermead, which was a lifer for a few people.

Here's my list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S277861807.

We had 41 species, though I had to leave around 11AM after we found the Clay-colored. The group continued, and added a few more species: Brown Thrasher (score another for the Picnic House drip), American Kestrel, Savannah Sparrow, and Eastern Phoebe.

Next week is our last walk of the season! It's been a strange fall with all these warm days. But maybe we'll go out with a bang. Thanks to Sheila, Megan, and Angie for co-leading.
