33RD REPORT OF THE CBRC: 2007 RECORDS 
Figure 3. This stunning photo of a second-year Mississippi Kite ( Ictinia 
mississippiensis ) was taken 8 July 2007 in the Tijuana R. valley, San Diego County. 
The majority of California’s records of this species are of one-year-old birds such as 
this one during late spring.

YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON Nyctanassa violacea (38, 6). An adult was 
paired with a Black-crowned Night-Heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax) at North I. Naval 
Air Station, SD, 19 Apr-30 Jun 2007 (JRt, MPRf; 2007-118; see Platter-Rieger 
et al. 2008). The same pair that established the first nesting record for California 
in 2006 raised three young at Imperial Beach, SD, 30 Jun 2007-15 Mar 2008 
(GMcC, VMt, PZf; 2007-151). Single birds were at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station, 
VEN, 17-23 May 2007 (DP, MR|; 2007-131) and Famosa Slough, SD, 7 Aug 2007 
(SHut; 2007-166). 
GLOSSY IBIS Plegadis falcinellus (14, 2). Single adults were at the north end of 
the Prado Basin, SBE, 3-8 Apr 2007 (JEPt; 2007-095) and the Yolo Bypass W. A., 
YOL, 25-29 Aug 2007 (ToEf; 2007-163). 
IDENTIFICATION NOT ESTABLISHED: One was reported from Barstow, SBE, 
17 Aug 2003 (2007-150), but the majority of the committee thought the descrip- 
tion and sketch were not detailed enough to determine the age of the bird and that 
it might have been a juvenile White-faced Ibis (P. chihi). Two photos were submitted 
from Calipatria, IMP, 7 Sep 2006 (2006-190). Two-thirds of the committee believed 
that the photos were too out of focus to allow a conclusive determination, although 
what could be discerned suggested the Glossy Ibis. 
ROSEATE SPOONBILL Platalea ajaja (136**, 7). Three juveniles were at the 
Morton Bay/Hazard Unit at the south end of the Salton Sea, IMP, 26 Jul-1 Sep 
2007 (GMcC; MGt; 2007-172), and two others were at the south end of the Salton 
Sea and Finney L„ IMP, 10 Nov 2007-10 Apr 2008 (WFt; GGt, HBK, CLi, GMcC, 
CAM; 2007-257). Single juveniles were near Seeley, IMP, 13-25 Nov 2007 (TCt; 
167
