San Francisco Birding - 22 Jul 2015
From there we drove south along the coast and stopped just long enough to get some pics of the numerous Common Ravens and Brewer's Blackbirds hanging out along the coast. I tried to find a Band-tailed Pigeon among a couple dozen Rock Pigeons, but wasn't lucky enough.
Robin then decided that she wanted to see the famous Lombard Street and its twisting turns and steep hill driving. We took it downhill among the hundreds of tourists, and wondered how anyone could live on such steep roads. I think the nearby straight up and down streets were just as bad, especially when GPS kept kicking out while trying to get back to the hotel. Dinner at Johnny Foley's Irish Pub was a nice end to the day.
Rictal bristles are half the length of the culmen (upper bill). On smaller Chihuahuan Ravens the rictal brushes are more than half the length of the culmen. |
