Birding today during the partial solar eclipse was interesting. Many birds started acting oddly, making agitated alarm calls or suddenly singing (even though it was mid morning in fall). Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, and House Wren were all calling.

Mostly a quiet morning in the Tijuana River Valley, with few migrants. A few highlights were Common Ground-Dove, a small flock of Solitary Sandpipers (not an easy bird in Southern California), and one of the locally introduced Black-throated Magpie-Jays. #birds #birding #sandiego #californiabirding #birdsofmastodon
