[EBB Sightings] Potential breeding warblers in the East Bay

I'd like to add (to the Townsends thread) that Hermit Warblers do breed, not far away in the coast ranges. In fact, they breed on Mt Tamalpais and in the Santa Cruz Mts. I've often wondered about the potential for both Hermit and BT Gray Warbler breeding in the East Bay. Neither seems far fetched.

Up through the 19th century, Redwood Reg Park had a formidable stand of Redwoods. This was almost entirely wiped out in the early 20th century. Steve Glover found nesting Hermit Thrushes there a few years back. I wonder if those were 'recolonizers' now that the Redwood forest is ~100 years old. If Hermit Warblers were there, they could do likewise.
