Hawk Hill's fall raptor migration is in full swing, and when the Bay Area's
fog cooperates there's plenty to see. A few samples from yesterday:
The (very) common Turkey Vulture:

This is an ugly bird - not its fault - but a nice photo
On the west coast the Broad-winged Hawk is very rare, however there are
always a few sightings during the fall migration:

You do have a steady hand Doug - I admire your capacity to shoot against
the light (and the DMR's ;-) ) How much twiking on that one? Lovely
tones, shot a bit late in its course perhaps.
The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory also bands the birds to track their
movements. This immature male Merlin has been banded and is about to be
released:
