North of San Gor- gonio, birds were reported moving through Cajon Pass to Antelope Valley. Mill Creek Canyon, the Garlock Fault, and Arroyo Seco seem to be major east- west routes through the mountains (Fig. 5).. Figure 5. Flight lines through the southern California, after L. Miller (1975; Fig. I). I) The southern part of the San Andreas Fault, Gulf of California to Central Valley; 2) Elsinore Fault; 3) Garlock Fault; 4) Mill Creek Canyon;. 5) Arroy6 Seco; 6) Kearsarge Pass; 7) Echo Summit; 8) Great Central Valley.

Basically, they suggested that individuals from western Redstart populations follow a distinct route that takes them "through".
