The Farallon Islands are a group of islands and rocks found in the Gulf of the Farallones, off the coast of mainland San Francisco, California. They lie 27 miles (43 km) outside the Golden Gate, 20 miles (32 km) south of Point Reyes.
The Farallon Islands are the breeding colony for half the world's population of Ashy Storm-petrels
Vermivora virginiae (Virginia's Warbler) caught and banded on SEFI. Numerous migrating landbirds are blown off course each year and make landfall on the islands.
