Chamaea fasciata
July 26. Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. - residential area at 320 62nd Street - scattered trees present but streets by no means tree-lined.
At noon I heard the steady pip-pip-pip-song of a wren-tit from NW of our apartment house. I have never encountered this species in the neighborhood before.
July 31. At 6:30 a.m. (Daylight Saving time), I heard the same song from west of the house.
Aug. 25 Song heard from same area 8:30-10:30 am. Intermittently. Never full song of it trailing off at end with more frequent notes, but same spacing throughout as "4 song"
Oct. 16 Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co., Calif. - while trapping sparrows, I captured a wren-tit banded 42-40894 in ground trap baited with grain in 2nd draw W Poultry lot on N side of canyon - 5:30 pm.
