Sorry for the rushed posting. Here is a little more information.
The Chestnut-sided Warbler was in the westernmost parking lot of the Hollister Tech Park, West of the RedWire building at these approximate GPS coordinates: 34.431281,-119.892615.
It was foraging in the tipu trees, very loosely associating with a mixed flock of Yellow-Rumps and Townsend's Warblers.
An active Warbler, whitish gray underneath, dark wings with prominent wingbars with a tinge of yellow, Green back and head. The top of the head was most interesting as on top of the green, the bird was wearing a bright Chartreuse cap.
I was not able to get a photo. I had met Pam Viale and Adrian earlier, but they were not in that portion of the property and I thought they had left. However, while driving out I spotted Pam and told her what I'd found, so hopefully they were able to re-find and photograph it.
In a mixed flock in the eastern parking lot, I had Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped, Townsend's and three different Black-throated Gray Warblers. I was not lucky enough to spot the Black-and-White Warbler that Adrian and Pam had earlier in this flock.
