Remsen, J.V. 1977 Hooded Warbler Wilsonia citring Oct. 15 Forestville, Sonoma Co., Calif: 1 ♂ in denser riparian thickets where it has been present for over one month. We spent an hour and 45 min. here before finally seeing the bird and then needed every minute until darkness to finally get good looks. The underparts were all bright yellow and the upperparts were greenish; the crown and nape were blackish as was a well-defined blackish chest connected to the crown by blackish "straps"; the throat was not black, indicating an imm. male, and the black did not appear solid black; white edging in the outer tail feathers was noted. The call note was a high, sharp "chiiN", similar to Brown Towhee call note but softer. Oct. 22 East Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Co., Calif: 1 ♂ in Chilopsis wash ≈ ¼ mi. E of riparian at Fort Piute. Collected by S. Cardiff - specimen to San Bernardino Co. Museum The high, sharp "chiiN" note was heard. Imm. ♂ - greenish edgings on black crown feathers.
