Observation details
Bright HY male in large flock roughly halfway between Cloverdale and the highway, near (37.179795, -122.351772). I think this bird is brighter than the one Garth Harwood and I found not far away on 9/17, and Chris and Malia had that bird or a duller one nearby on 9/18, so this appears to be a new individual. The time gap supports that idea as well—two weeks is a long time for a fall vagrant to stick around. Photos; first 3 edited for exposure and contrast to compensate for bad backlighting. White back braces obvious in the field and sort of reminiscent of a stint!
