A female GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, the county's second record, was found on the 23rd at
Montana de Oro Campground just east of the visitor center (Jim Royer). It was not
refound despite intense efforts by many birders.
A male PAINTED REDSTART, another extremely rare bird in this county, was found on
the 23rd at the Oceano Campground near the nature center off Pier Ave (Jamie Chavez)
Subsequent observers have found it ranging throughout the campground area, seemingly
restricted to conifers.
Also in the Oceano Campground and Lagoon area the following warblers were found: (2)
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, and TENNESSEE WARBLER.
A CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER was found in Cambria along Santa Rosa Creek on the 24th.
(Karen Clarke)
A BLACK-THROATED, BREWER'S, and CLAY-COLORED SPARROW were all found at the mouth of
Islay Creek at Spooner's Cove in Montana de Oro State Park on the 24th. (Bill
Bouton)
