ベイエリアのトレイル Redwood Shores

The shoreline of the San Francisco Bay Area consists of tidal flats and reclaimed land, with various trails of different sizes established within nature reserves and parks. While the variety of wildlife might not differ greatly, I want to methodically explore to find the best spots for observation and photography.

A Willet with striking white bands on its wings.
Cliff Swallow.
A juvenile House Sparrow following an adult, begging for food.
Greater Yellowlegs. Its long, yellow legs are very noticeable.
A large plover with unusual markings. It’s called a Killdeer and is commonly seen in North America. But what’s with the name “Kill + deer”?
A singing Song Sparrow. Along with the White-crowned Sparrow, it’s one of the most commonly seen sparrows so far.
The Long-billed Curlew has a brownish tone and looks more like the Far Eastern Curlew. I find it hard to tell them apart.
The Whimbrel is the same species as those found in Japan. The central head stripe isn’t visible in the photo.
The Black Phoebe, which appeared last time as well. Its beak alignment seems off.
A female or immature male Anna’s Hummingbird. They’re buzzing around in front of my house too, but I’ve yet to see the beautiful metallic red of an adult male.
