Apologize for an off-topic post........But, I'm sure many on here are familiar
with California birder Rich Stallcup, as one of the great names in the modern
(ABA) era of Birding. If you've read Kaufman's classic "Kingbird Highway",
Stallcup was a substantial character in the book. Stallcup just passed away,
but
I'm sure he now has a better vantage point for birding, as elevation always
helps!
Good Birding!

Note, below Rich Stallcup's last email to North Bay Birds just four days
ago. As co-moderator of North Bay Birds I have placed Rich's LinkedIn
profile photo on North Bay Birds home page in his honor:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/northbaybirds/
From the PRBO page:
Rich Stallcup, PRBO Naturalist, Outreach and Education Group Rich has been
involved with California Field Ornithology for many years. In the early
1960's he (with CJ Ralph) discovered the amazing Spring and fall "vagrant"
phenomenon on outer Point Reyes and other "migrant traps" along the coast.
Rich was also a founder of PRBO and has served on its Board of Directors,
was president of Western Field Ornithologists, was regional editor for
American Birds, was a member of the California Bird Records Committee and is
a new grandpa. He has published many scientific papers, 4 books about birds
and 60 "Focus" articles in PRBO's newsletter, the Observer. From 1976-1988,
Rich was an owner and tour leader for WINGS birding tours and led many PRBO
tours prior to that. In 2002 the American Birding Association presented Rich
the Ludlow Griscom Award for outstanding contributions to American
ornithology. Rich now serves as PRBO's Naturalist and works with the Gulf of
the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Beachwatch Program (In 1998 he was
designated "star of the sanctuary" for Cordell Bank). Each year he brings
nature to hundreds of humans through his tours, trips, and trainings.

It might even be the same one there (that shared the same behaviors) in the
winters of 2002 to 2008 with a couple missed winters. That one would some
years have a female Redhead along for the season!

Re: The Redhead. This is at least his second winter at Civic Center Lagoon.
no dates, but saw him repeatedly through the winter at very close range,
usually on the N side.
