Red-Tailed Hawk
A white-crowned sparrow, spotted in the brush at the top of the bluffs at Point Vicente
Pelicans (on a rock)
American Pipit
American Crow
Cassin’s Kingbird
Heerman’s gull
Heerman’s gull. They’re not as common here as western gulls, but I do see them occasionally. This one didn’t feel like trying to fly in the wind, which was blowing other seagulls sideways. And in some cases backward.
European Starling
I saw at least three starlings, but I could still hear them up in the transmission tower after those three flew off.
Eurasian Collared-Dove
Two or three of these doves were wandering around.
Fox Squirrel
Lesser Goldfinch
All three of these birds (lesser goldfinches, maybe? I have seen them in the general area.) were in the same tree. I think there were several others based on the sound, but it was hard to tell since the yellow birds blended in so well with the yellow-green leaves.

Western Bluebirds
Three of I’m not sure how many bluebirds that seemed remarkably unconcerned about the dog park nearby.
Pelican above the bluffs
Walked down to the pier on a gloomy day while my car was in the shop. People were pretty good at spreading out and wearing masks (prob. because the city started fining people back in summer).
Among other shorebirds, I saw a group of a half dozen pelicans whirling around and diving for fish.
Marbled Godwit
There were two of these birds walking around near each other, jabbing their beaks into the wet sand. I’m not 100% certain all of these are the same one of the two, but I can’t tell them apart.
