 summer at Campo and Julian, San Diego County, from the lower limit of pines 

 down to about 3000 feet altitude. In 1876 he noted its first appearance at Campo 

 about March 24 (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club iii, 1878, 42).

318. (645a) Vermivora rubricapilla gutturalis (Ridgway). Calaveras 

 Warbler. 



Common spring and fall migrant from the lowlands up to at least 9800 feet 

 in the mountains. Noted by J. Grinnell in spring in the vicinity of Pasadena as 

 early as April 4 (1896) (Pub. 2. Pasadena Acad. Sci., 1898, 44), and found by 

 H. S. Swarth to be fairly common near Los Angeles May 3 to 7 and May 12, 

 1900. Also noted by Mr. Swarth near Los Angeles in the fall from September 

 13 (1897) to October 8 (1896) (Grinnell, Pub. 2, Pasadena Acad. Sci., 1898, 44). 

 According to J. Grinnell, this species makes its appearance in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains, in the fall, during the latter part of August. The first noted were at 

 Cactus Flat, 6000 feet, August 17, 1905. They were common among the tama- 

 rack pines on the summit of Sugarloaf, 9800 feet, August 19, and at Bluff Lake, 

 7500 feet, from August 30 to September 3, the species was fairly common in the 

 willow thickets (Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool. v, 1908, 110). 



319. (646) Vermivora celata celata (Say). Orange-crowned Warbler. 

 Probably a regular migrant in small numbers. Most common in the fall. 



Occasional in winter as far north as Riverside. Specimens taken as follows : 

 Male by J. Grinnell at Pasadena, September 3, 1896 (Swarth, Condor iii, 1901, 

 145). Several specimens by H. S. Swarth near Los Angeles, in the fall from 

 September 17 (1900) to October 30 ( 1899) (Condor iii, 1901, 17). Two females

320. (646a) Vermivora celata lutescens (Ridgway). Lutescent 

 Warb ler. 



Common spring and fall migrant from the coast to at least 9800 feet in the 

 mountains. A few remain through the summer and breed in the canons and on 

 brushy mountain sides. Migrations occur mainly in September and March. Ac- 

 cording to W. Brewster, winters as far north as San Diego ( Bull. Mus. Comp. 

 Zool. Harv. Coll. xli, 1902, 179). May occasionally winter even farther north, 

 as H. S. Swarth took a specimen near Los Angeles, November 20, 1901, and took 

 several in the same locality, February 21, 1904. J. H. Bowles records it as a 

 common summer resident near Santa Barbara. He has found it nesting not more 

 than two miles from the ocean and at an elevation of less than 400 feet (Auk 

 xx\iu, 1911, 177). J. E. Law took four half-incubated eggs near Lankershim.
