This afternoon I found a Worm-eating Warbler at Santa Ana NWR just off of
the Vireo Trail between the Owl Trail and the Bobcat Trail. It had come
out to some water from a pipe, maybe to bath or to look for insects
associated with the water. I spotted it and saw the distinctive buffy
yellowish head and blackish stripes it's crown. As it moved back towards
the undergrowth I saw it's olive back and then it's thick blackish and
distinct eyeline. I knew it right away as a Worm-eating Warbler as I
found one in November, 2011 only about 5 miles from my home in Colorado. I
followed it for the approximately one month it stayed around refinding it
for other Colorado birders several times and photographing it a few times
(quite a challenge). I was not able to get a photo of this Worm-eating
Warbler today.
I spotted the adult Zone-tailed Hawk appearing to be on it's roost early
today and got a couple of better photos due to increased light. This was
in a different location than where it roosted last night. It appears that
there is not a reliable roost location, especially one that provides some
protection from disturbance, for either of these hawks that I can post for
the many other birders who are interested in viewing it. So I will not be
posting further about it on Texbirds.
