A male-plumaged bird was seen and photographed (photograph deposited in San Diego Natural History Museum) near Borrego Springs, San Diego County, between 24 and 28 November 1967 by myself and others, and a male-plumaged bird was banded and photographed (slide deposited in San Diego Natural History Museum) on Point Loma, San Diego County, on 26 October 1968 by Alan Craig. Canada Warbler. (Wilsonia canadensis). The only spring record to date is one collected in the Panamint Mountains, Inyo County, on 13 June 1967 (Northern, Condor 70:391, 1968). Duri the fall period one was seen in Pacific Grove, Monterey County, on 17 and 18 October 1968 by Dr. Ronald Branson and Elgin Hurlbert; one was seen in Morro Bay State Park, San Luis Obispo County, on 21 November 1965 by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hyland and othe s; one was seen near Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, on 11 October 1943 (Hutchinson, Audubo Mag. 46:80, 1944); one was seen at Point Dume, Los Angeles County, on 27 October 1961 by Virginia Coughran; two were seen at Barton Flats in the San Bernardino Mountains, San Bernardino County, on 5 October 1968 by Eugene Cardiff and others, and one of these, an immature female, was collected (deposited in San Bernardino County Museum) the following day by Cardiff; one was seen near La Jolla, San Diego County, between 24 and 30 September 1967, during which time it was banded and photographed (slide deposited in San Diego Natural History Museum) by myself and Alan Craig; and one was seen near Imperial Beach, San Diego County, on 29 October 1967 by myself and Alan Craig. There have been only two previously published reports of the Connecticut Warbler and two published reports of the Canada Warbler for California; the other species are reported for the first time for California. I am indebted to all these people mentioned above for permitting the use of their records.
