After seeing them on Vollmer Peak a few days ago, they finally arrived here. I heard the "Oh dear me" song this morning. It was across the street while I was washing my car. Close enough.

Yesterday I saw two here in Pinole. They were just across the fence in my neighbor's yard. Also close enough.

We had three Golden-crowns show up at
our house on 9/23 - all with immature plumage. Heard chips, but
no songs all week. But then on 10/2 there was a lot of singing,
and (coincidentally?) there were two adult plumaged birds on the
deck. It's well known that this species sings on the wintering
ground; but I wonder if the singing - at least in the fall - comes
primarily from adult birds returning to the wintering
ground?

Gold Crowns (GC) in EL Sobrante singing on the 26th Sept and White Crowns arrived on the 1st. . If you have seen the Pacific Hort article , a study in santa cruz showed that GC come back to the SAME individual bush and some nearby bushes they were in the previous winter- amazing- check out the Pacific Hort article.

Not surprised by this because I've had the same flock of exactly 6 GCS in my yard for years.

Oh you lucky people! I now live in Santa Barbara and I haven't heard a GC since I moved here eight years ago. And I have to go to our Bot. garden in Mission Canyon to see a fox sparrow. Phila Rogers

However, as the years go on (at least 5 now or more?), I have wondered whether it is exactly the same birds or their descendants.
