It was a great birding day, starting at the wetlands just south of SF Airport where we saw Green-winged Teal and Northern Shovelers, and ending at Belmont Slough where we saw Yellowlegs and American Wigeon. We braved the cool fog all morning until the sun finally came out when we were south of the San Mateo Bridge where we found a Ruddy Turnstone on the bay shore. Thanks to Al for taking some great pictures, including one which gave us the Mew Gull for our list, and for helping with bicycle loading at Caltrain. Just north of Ryder Park, where we had lunch, we found a Say’s Phoebe, American Pipit and Western Meadowlark on the old garbage dump, and south of the park we found a juvenile Peregrine Falcon on a tower.
