- Comments: "Found in the short trees at these coords (34.4109413, -119.8454963). Just as I was rolling out of the parking lot after grabbing lunch, I heard unfamiliar chips coming from the trees, so I reparked and got out to quickly check it out. I saw several warblers flitting around, and not one but TWO of them were Tennessee. The chips were distinctly not as sharp as ocwa, and they match very well with online recordings of tewa. Both birds had distinct supercilium, short tails, and white undertail coverts. Didnt have any equipment but since both were very obliging and came within 10 feet with pishing, I was able to get decent iPhone shots. I also got a recording of the chips. First 4 photos of 1 bird, last photo of the other bird"

- Comments: "Two birds similar in plumage, found at opposite ends of our route. One bird includes the continuing female-plumaged bird at the ranch house fig trees where it was seen multiple times during the day in basically the same several trees. The second was a new bird, found between the two campgrounds. Both very active and constantly tail fanning. Gray overall with yellow patches at base of tail, base of secondaries, and orange-yellow along the sides of the breast at the bend of the wing. Although very similar in plumage, photo review indicated the first bird showed more orange coloration at the bend of the wing, as well as more pronounced eye-arcs."
