33RD REPORT OF THE CBRC: 2007 RECORDS 
Oct 2007 (CMcGt; CAM; 2007-232). Up to three in fields north of Calipatria, IMP, 
10 Nov-18 Dec 2007 (BH, HBK; GMcC; 2007-258) were at a site where this spe- 
cies has been found regularly in winter. At its 2009 meeting, the committee voted 
to remove this species from the review list as California now averages more than 
four records per year and small numbers winter annually in the Imperial Valley. The 
committee will continue reviewing records through 2008. 
BLUE-WINGED WARBLER Vermivora pinus (41, 1). A female, probably in its first 
fall, was well documented from Deep Springs College, INY, 8 Sep 2007 (C&RHf; 
2007-190). 
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER Vermivora chrysoptera (70, 1). A singing male 
near Washington Memorial Park in Pacific Grove, MTY, 22 Apr 2007 (WR; 2007- 
107) was over two weeks earlier than the previous early spring date of 8 May, though 
it fits the species’ arrival on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico, so it may have 
wintered somewhere on the California coast or in western Mexico. 
YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER Dendroica dominica (120, 7). As expected, 
five of the seven Yellow-throated Warblers accepted in 2007 were found in spring or 
early summer, three of them in May, the month of roughly one in three California 
records. One was near Hayfield Pumping Station, RIV, 6 May 2007 (JPDf; 2007- 
113; photo in N. Am. Birds 61:512). One was at Hansen Dam, LA, 12-13 May 
2007 (KLG; JFe, MSanM, SSot; 2007-116). One 7 miles offshore, VEN, 19 May 
2007 (WF; 2007-134) followed a fishing boat for 10 minutes. Late spring/early sum- 
mer records were of one at Davis, YOL, 6-9 Jun 2007 (LD; RAf, SH; 2007-139) 
and one at L. Jennings, SD, 7-8 Jul 2007 (MBSf; DFuf, GMcC, TRSf; 2007-147; 
photo in N. Am. Birds 61:643). One at Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz I., SBA, 
29 Sep 2007 was the only one recorded in fall (OJf; 2007-214). The state’s tenth 
midwinter Yellow-throated Warbler, in Orange, ORA, 5 Dec 2007-2 Apr 2008 was 
of the white-lored subspecies D. d. albilora (DWt; CAM; 2007-297; photo in N. 
Am. Birds 62:305). Approximately half of California’s midwinter records are of the 
yellow-lored nominate subspecies D. d. dominica. 
GRACE’S WARBLER Dendroica graciae (56, 4). One on Southeast Farallon I., 
SF, 14-15 Oct 2007 was the island’s first, only the fourth for northern California, 
and California’s northernmost Grace’s Warbler to date (SMcf; MBf, MMy; 2007- 
226; photo in N. Am. Birds 62:148). Wintering birds included two at Pt. Loma, SD, 
with one in a residential area 23 Feb-3 Mar 2007 that was presumed to have spent 
the winter (MS; TABf, GMcC; 2007-061) and an adult female that returned to Fort 
Rosecrans National Cemetery for its fifth consecutive winter 13 Oct 2007-26 Feb 
2008 (MTHt, GMcC; DAt, MJBf; 2007-223; same bird as 2006-142, Heindel and 
Garrett 2008). Another wintered at Morro Bay State Park, SLO, 14 Dec 2007-15 
Feb 2008 (CAM; TE, JLx, AFSf, BLSt; 2008-006). One in Rolling Hills on the Palos 
Verde Peninsula, LA, 26 Dec 2007 (KL; 2008-002) may have wintered locally. 
PINE WARBLER Dendroica pinus (88, 8). With few exceptions, the Pine Warbler 
occurs in California in late fall and winter, so four singing males in April were excep- 
tional, though these birds may have wintered on the west coast, perhaps locally, and 
simply went undetected. Supporting this notion was one returning in November and 
another in December to overwinter. The singing males were one in Estancia Park 
in Costa Mesa, ORA, 4-8 Apr 2007 (MB, OJf; 2007-100), a second-year bird in 
Orange, ORA, 15-21 Apr 2007 (RHf; 2007-105), and two second-year birds in 
Chula Vista, SD, one in Memorial Park 5-16 Apr 2007 (MSf; MJBf, CGE, GMcC, 
GLR; 2007-092) and one in nearby Friendship Park 7-23 Apr 2007 (MSf; MJBt, 
GLR; 2007-098). The last returned to Friendship Park, Chula Vista, SD, 18 Nov 
2007-1 Apr 2008 (MJBf; DWAf, GMcC, MSf; 2007-263; same bird as 2007- 
098), while the one at Estancia Park, Costa Mesa, ORA, returned 25 Dec 2007-7
