Title: Worm-eating Warbler
Post by: farmer on April 21, 2013, 09:46:06 PM

Was at Point Pelee today and was lucky enough to catch the Worm-eating Warbler that has been around for 3 days, an occasional visitor to Onatrio!

Thanks all, It had been around all morning and when I got there it had been seen just 10 minutes before. I hung around that area for a while with no luck. I gave up and went for a long walk (saw a female Black & White Warbler) and when I was returning to my car, about 200 feet south of the visitors center, a Couple pointed him out. I stayed still on the trail and he eventually came right in front of me, feeding on the ground. My lucky day! Never figured to add that one to my life list.  :P

Just catching up on the board here...  yay for you with this lifer, and nice captures!  We saw one our first trip to Pelee two years ago.  He was part of our long list of lifers including 18 or so Warblers.
