Remsen, J.V. 1977 Cape May Warbler Dendroica tigrina May 30 Furnace Creek Ranch, Inyo Co., Calif.: 1 breeding plumage ♂ in cattails (!) around pond at SW corner of golf course - seen by 40 birders. - dark crown; chestnut, triangular cheek patch bordered all around by yellow; breast yellow with conspicuous black streaks extending to belly; large white wing patch; dark green back. - appeared to be in full breeding plumage. I was unable to see the rump to see whether or not it was yellowish and I did not note whether or not the back was streaked. - I only got to see the bird well for about 10 seconds before it disappeared across the golf course. The chestnut cheek patch bordered by yellow is unique to this species and there was never really any question as to the bird's identity. June 14 Pt. Reyes, Marin Co., Calif.: 1 ♂ singing vigorously at Mendoza Ranch - watched for 4-5 minutes total: chestnut triangular cheek patch bordered all around broadly by yellow; throat breast, and upper belly bright yellow; columns of black dots emanating from uppermost portion of breast down to belly - very conspicuous; lower belly + undertail coverts white; tail dark except for white outer rectrix; crown dark olive brown-green; back brighter olive green; large, conspicuous white wing patch; did not see yellow rump or stripes on back. Song was a series of high-pitched "see" notes (? 6-9) on same pitch. This was the very first bird I saw today - I was still putting on my jacket when I first spotted the bird.
