Today's SFO local trip started at Myers Park, where our goal bird, the AMERICAN PIPIT, alighted by the parking lot shortly after our arrival, giving fantastic looks at its brown lightly-streaked featureless blandness. A number of pipits hung around the spits on both the Myers and Salt Point side.

This morning Wes and I led the 5:30 group to Braddock Bay. A cold morning and light winds from the north foreshadowed a slow morning at the banding station. We were treated with a close encounter of a Peregrine in hot pursuit of an unidentified bird just over the car while cruising on the
