I currently live in a pretty residential area of San Francisco, Anza Vista. The topography is somewhat unique; the neighborhood sits on a large hill with very strong winds on the west side, and I am always noticing certain birds that fly out here where they might not in other places around the city (especially gulls flying overhead). I ventured out in the late afternoon/evening and was curious to see what I could identify (even though this is a thickly settled area) using my binos and the Merlin app. I scouted both my backyard and the neighborhood…link to my eBird list is attached for your viewing pleasure.
