[EBB Sightings] Potential breeding warblers in the East Bay (LONG)

With regard to Hermit Warblers in Tilden, I've been running my summer camp 
there since '97.   We usually start in mid-June, and I don't recall ever 
finding Hermits until July.   We've never heard one singing, and have never 
found a fledgling, though first year/female type birds are what we generally 
find until the occasional obvious adult in August.   I've always assumed that 
they were early dispersals from somewhere northward, as the closest I've 
found signs of breeding is in Mendocino County.   I'll be reviewing my old 
written records for the Tilden checklist project soon, and if they prove my 
memory wrong, I'll write back.
