ベイエリアのトレイル Redwood Shores – Bay Area Trail

2024年7月8日 Birds

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.

Greater Yellowlegs in a wetland in the Bay Area in summer — Greater Yellowlegs. Its long, yellow legs are very noticeable.

Killdeer in a wetland in the Bay Area in summer — 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”?

Song Sparrow perched on a fence in the Bay Area in summer — A singing Song Sparrow. Along with the White-crowned Sparrow, it’s one of the most commonly seen sparrows so far.

Whimbrel in a wetland in the Bay Area in summer — The Long-billed Curlew has a brownish tone and looks more like the Far Eastern Curlew. I find it hard to tell them apart.

Black Phoebe perched on a fence in the Bay Area in summer — The Black Phoebe, which appeared last time as well. Its beak alignment seems off.

Anna’s Hummingbird perched on a small branch in the Bay Area in summer — 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.
