Hello World! PlanetScott is now available to guide small groups (maximum 3 or 4 people in Toyota Corolla or bring your own vehicle) on nature and birding outings in San Francisco
and beyond. San Francisco has a dynamic natural history, and the rugged terrain amidst the bay and
ocean hosts some of the world's best natural spectacles.
I have lived in San Francisco for over thirty years, and I have explored the natural areas in San Francisco, the Bay
Area and Northern California extensively as well as exploration of over fifty countries. If you are looking for a specific
species of bird or a specific environment, I know where to go to best find it. Or, if you are more interested in marine mammals,
several places along the coast offer viewing opportunities. It is also possible to arrange full-day boat tours for trips out to the
Farralon Islands or continental shelf.
What I offer
- A Few Hours To Kill at the Airport Tour - I will pick you up at the airport and take you to the salt marshes in the area!

This site represents my observations in travels around the world.
All photos and text are created and copyrighted by Scott Bowers unless

The bird list is based upon the clements checklist of 2023.
Modifications have been made when appropriate, but my list should
not be considered an official list.
The family sort order of the birds is based upon standard recognized sort order,
except for the fact that I have sorted classes based upon my interest.
Sort orders are under construction.
Most of the lists on the site before 2012 are not complete lists as I often do not duplicate
sightings for the same trip/region. If you want to get a general idea of an
area, the trip reports would probably be most helpful.
Use of images is allowed, but no modifications may be made to the image. That
means that YOU MAY NOT REMOVE the PlanetScott.com logo from the images.
Contact Me if you want to license an image without the
watermark or if you need coding or database work done for your site.
