Interesting to learn, for example, that in 1885 more than five million birds were killed in the United States for the millinery industry, and that in 1904 market hunters in Oregon killed over 120 tons of waterfowl for the restaurant trade in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.

Before I moved north to Portland, I lived in San Francisco. Patch birding is rewarding because the birds become familiar, as do the changes across the seasons. There is satisfaction in the everyday. But patches can also provide the unexpected. When I was a new birder, I adopted Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay as a “patch.”.
