Was birding near the Land's End/Sutro heights area, on a trail overlooking the ocean last Thursday when I saw this guy. I was expecting to possibly see a Bewicks, and so when I saw this bird that's where my mind went immediately.
Unfortunately he was skulking a bit, and with the crazy contrast of afternoon sun and shadows of the canopy, as well as all the brush, couldnt get a good picture of it.
Looking back at the photos, it doesnt seem right. The bill first off seems too short. It actually looks more like the Bush Warblers I used to see in Taiwan, not like something I would expect to see in SF.
Unfortunately it was a short encounter, and the photos are all terrible, but does anyone have any thoughts?
