| Singing Townsend's Warbler, North Lake |
I watched the Townsend's warbler intermittently preen and sing for quite a while before it resumed its hunt for insects. The weather this morning was "California crisp" -- clear and bright, but cool enough for a light jacket. Birdsong trilling high in the trees in many places. A perfect day to be out on foot or bike. My only wish for improvement would be for people the world over to be able to share our good fortune to safely enjoy a beautiful day outside.

| Spotted another sundog this morning, photographing it through the window. It was gone by the time I got outside. |
 |
| I'm still hearing the lovely song of golden-crowned sparrows in the neighborhood. They are probably getting ready to head north to their breeding grounds in Canada and Alaska. |
 |
| A female hairy woodpecker was working the other side of this large pine next to a house in Forest Hill while the male pecked into the bark on my side. |
 |
| The main birdsong in many parts of the city is often the white-crowned sparrow. This one was broadcasting its song from atop an ornate and very tall old light post, owning the soundscape in Golden Gate Heights. |

| I was surprised there were no hummingbirds working this huge patch of pride-of-madeira in Golden Gate Park. |
 |
| That's okay. More for the bumblebees. |
