Crescent-chested Warbler (Parula superciliosa), Madera Canyon, Santa Cruz

This bird, present most of the 2007-08 winter, is being seen in Madera Canyon about 1.5 miles up the Old Baldy Trail above and below the area with the very sharp switchbacks.  It often chips loudly and sometimes associates with a flock of titmice, kinglets and other warblers.
