49. American Pipit

    Number observed:  4

50. Evening Grosbeak

    Number observed:  6

    Details

    *very rare; southbound along shoreline/just over the Bay (where stunningly there was a busy finch line, including good Siskin numbers). One bright, presumably ad. male seen after it and two duller individuals were already 3/4 of the way past me; then another three along the same line later in the morning. In the first case, I noticed the large/bold white wingbar on the male, along with a mustard-y yellow wash to the rest of the body; relative size of all three, judged by my established impression of finches that have been taking this line for the latter part of the season, was exceedingly bulky/front heavy, with inflated heads. Had I not gotten the color on the male, they would have likely been lost in the chaos. The identification of the second, somewhat further, group was based on the same size/shape impression marks plus generally deeply saturated yellow tones as viewed through the scope while they headed south. I did not hear any of these birds call, likely due to distance, but presumably they were Type 3. I recognize that this is a very "'Morning Flight style" ID for a pretty rare bird, but it was the best I could do to snag them out of that disaster of a flight line; will aim for better documentation/hope for closer individuals as we progress into November.

53. Pine Siskin

    Number observed:  165

    Details

    *high; southbound total (1x1). Essentially all finches undercounted today given the difficulty of picking out flocks from the chaos and having to rely too heavily on calling birds.
