At least according to the weather report delivered by meteorologist Mark Tamayo. Tamayo was attempting to do his job and report the weather on San Francisco’s KTVU, when he got a [surprise](http://time.com/4874658/news-blooper-spider/). Just as he cut to the station’s weather camera perched on a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, a bird popped by to inspect the camera. As Tamayo addressed the at-home audience, the bird’s seemingly giant head peered over the side of the camera and he photobombed the segment. Tamayo handled the bird’s visit like a pro, though. Instead of cracking up laughing or letting loose with an expletive, he calmly told his producers, “I might need a little more time for this weather segment just because we have a little visitor.” As soon as the bird cemented his legacy in the [photobombers hall of fame](http://time.com/4521380/pop-dog-photobomb/?iid=sr-link3), where he joined a [stingray](http://time.com/4231235/stingray-photobomb-proposal-pictures/?iid=sr-link6), [Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau](http://time.com/4442419/justin-trudeau-wedding-shirtless-photobomb/?iid=sr-link4), and a [blessed dog](http://time.com/4521380/pop-dog-photobomb/?iid=sr-link3), Tamayo got back to the weather report. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5104069/bird-photobombs-weather-report-blooper/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5104069/bird-photobombs-weather-report-blooper/"},"headline":"The Weather Is Brought to You By This Photobombing Bird With Impeccable Timing","datePublished":"2018-01-16T16:14:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:46.715Z","description":"The weather in San Francisco was rainy with a chance of massive birds","url":"https://time.com/5104069/bird-photobombs-weather-report-blooper/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt792965f299f5da71/6988f84f8fd2eeb41135a562/bird.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt792965f299f5da71/6988f84f8fd2eeb41135a562/bird.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bird","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5104069/bird-photobombs-weather-report-blooper/","name":"The Weather Is Brought to You By This Photobombing Bird With Impeccable Timing"}}]}] ```
