Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) (1)
- Reported May 09, 2025 07:44 by Nick & Jane
- Laguna Lake, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.6903817&<ll...>,-120.6903817 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S235246503 - Media: 2 Photos
- Comments: "Could this be the straggler I saw in paved loop? Maybe not. In a mixed flock with warblers and bushtits in Gazebo area pines. Small green plumpy warbler-adjacent bird with dark, sharp bill, low/medium contrast between green lower parts and darker green upper parts. Very dingy looking overall. Squished white eyering. Photos"
Brewer's Sparrow (Spizella breweri) (1)
- Reported May 09, 2025 07:50 by Russ Namitz
- MU Ranch, Carrizo Plain NM--no internal access, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.4817506&<ll...>,-119.4817506 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S235062622 - Media: 1 Audio
- Comments: "Brief look at a small Spizella on the ground before it flew off toward the fence. Small size, small bill, white eyering and long tail. Overall color, streaked nape, and complete white eyering eliminated young Chipping Sparrow. Weaker face contrast than Clay-colored Sparrow. Sang briefly (short song?) and will add recording."
Orange-crowned Warbler (Gray-headed) (Leiothlypis celata celata/orestera) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported May 08, 2025 07:18 by Reef Comer
- Blinn Ranch Trail--Upper Santa Margarita Lake, San Luis Obispo, California

SY male with mixed flock here: (35.325320, -120.429647). OCWA with mostly gray head (molting in some green feathers on forehead and face), whitish eye-arcs, thin short bill, lime green tummy brightest on untacs, limited dull olive streaking on breast, and just duller than lutescens overall. KH has poor quality pics."
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle x Audubon's) (Setophaga coronata coronata x auduboni) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported May 08, 2025 11:58 by Reef Comer
- Las Pilitas Rd Bridges at Salinas River, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.5132282&<ll...>,-120.5132282 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S234791908 - Media: 5 Photos
- Comments: "*Uncommon, rather late. SY male(?) foraging with a YEWA in willows here: (35.348402, -120.513134). Pretty straightforward intergrade with yellow wash to pale throat, pale throat wrapping around auriculars, reduced supercillium, and partial mask. Sounded mostly like AUYRWA if not slightly off. Responded solely to MYYRWA and not Audubon’s."
