33RD REPORT OF THE CBRC: 2007 RECORDS 
Apr 2008 (JEPf; CAM; 2008-007; same bird as 2007-100). A first-winter female 
was at Greenwood Cemetery, San Diego, SD, 7 Jan 2007 (PEL; DWAf, GMcC; 
2007-010). The single fall record was also from San Diego Co., of a first-fall male 
at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, Pt. Loma, 3 Nov 2007 (SES; TABf, PAG; 
2007-240; photo in N. Am. Birds 62:155). Longer-staying birds were a first-winter 
male in Goleta, SB A, 9 Nov 2007-14 Jan 2008 (NL; DMC, RCMf, MSanM; 2007- 
246) and a first-winter female at Guajome Regional Park, SD, 22 Dec 2007-25 Feb 
2008 (JD ; RHt, GMcC, MSt; 2007-298). 
IDENTIFICATION NOT ESTABLISHED: A report from Ocean Park, Lompoc, 
SBA, 12 Nov 2007 (2007-295) was supported by a brief description that some 
committee members considered did not eliminate the Blackpoll Warbler (D. striata ) 
or Bay-breasted Warbler (D. castanea). 
WORM-EATING WARBLER Helmitheros uermiuorum (104, 1). One was at 
Tamarisk Grove Campground in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, SD, 18-19 Oct 
2007 (RT; SBf, KZKf, TRSf; 2007-228; photo in N. Am. Birds 62:155). 
CONNECTICUT WARBLER Oporornis agilis (109, 1). One in its first fall was 
near the lighthouse at Pt. Reyes National Seashore, MRN, 8-9 Sep 2007 (RWR; 
DWNt; 2007-187). 
MOURNING WARBLER Oporornis Philadelphia (137, 3). Two in their first fall 
were captured and banded at Southeast Farallon I., SF, 26 Sep 2005 (RDB t; 2008- 
011 and 2008-012). Another was captured and banded at the Big Sur R. mouth, 
MTY, 8 Sep 2007 (JSt; 2007-210). 
RED-FACED WARBLER Cardellina rubrifrons (22, 2). One lingered in Green 
Canyon in the San Bernardino Mts., SBE, 27 Jun-20 Jul 2007 (JBr, BiD, WF, AEK, 
CAM, SM, DOt, DEQ, MSanM, PDS, JCSt, K&LSt; 2007-146; Figure 11). Observ- 
ers’ opinions on the sex and number of birds involved differed, though the documenta- 
tion submitted supported one bird, probably a second-year male. One was at Burnt 
Rancheria Campground, Laguna Mts., SD, 16 Sep 2007 (JBr; 2007-197). 
^SCARLET TANAGER Piranga oliuacea (147, 10). The single spring record for 
2007 was of a second-year male at Muir Woods, MRN, 3 Jun 2007 (RSTt; MB; 
2007-145; photo in N. Am. Birds 61:637). As expected, most records were for 
fall: a first-fall male in Seaside, MTY, 1 Oct 2007 (SRf; 2007-231), a first-fall male 
in Goleta, SBA, 28 Oct-4 Nov 2007 (JGt; DMC, NL; 2007-238), and a first-fall 
female in Santa Maria, SBA, 15-16 Dec 2007 (JMCf; 2007-290; photo in N. Am. 
Birds 62:306). Up to three first-fall males and two first-fall females at Fort Rosecrans 
National Cemetery on Pt. Loma, SD, 15-19 Nov 2007 were an unprecedented con- 
centration (MTHt, TH, GMcC; DAt, MJB, TABf, EKt, MSt, SES, TRSf; 2007-262). 
All previous California records have involved single birds; five at once was completely 
unexpected. Curtis A. Marantz discovered at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto 
a specimen collected near Shandon, SLO, 25 Nov 1950; it predates all but one of 
the California’s previous records (CAMf; ROM #79820; 2007-287). At its 2008 
meeting the committee voted to remove the Scarlet Tanager from the review list, 
as California now averages over four records per year. The committee will continue 
reviewing records through 2007. 
EASTERN TOWHEE Pipilo erythrophthalmus. IDENTIFICATION NOT ESTAB- 
LISHED: One reported at the Eaton Canyon Nature Reserve in Pasadena, LA, 18 Nov 
2007 (2007-266) was supported by a brief and intriguing description that was not 
detailed enough to persuade the committee to accept a first state record. This species 
has occurred well west of its normal winter range, with extralimital records extending 
from southern Alberta to northern and southern Arizona (CBRC 2007).
