While I was in San Francisco, I went birding in the Bay area several times.  I also joined two birding trips organized by the local birdwatching society during weekend.  It so happened that the area was holding an annual birding event called San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival  (http://www.sfbayflywayfestival.com/default.htm )  from 1 -10 Feb and I had a chance of joining the outings.  
The photos were taken with 20D and 400mm lens.  Thanks for viewing.

Went through the three albums in succession. What a real treat! The toil was worth it. Really cool with the pick despite the short stay in the States. And what a veteran bird watcher! Congratulations for such a wholesome collection.
