Fox River Park - Intersection near County I & H Waukesha - as noted from
earlier post: Parking lot nearest entrance, blacktop path into woods - take
first mulch path to right - I found the bird about 5 yards ahead on the
right about 5 yards in, digging / running around leaf clutter & over under
downed trees.
Temperature: 45oF          SW wind 13-15 mph        Cloudy
Cold

 

Received the following message from Anne Moretti regarding Worm Eating
Warbler this morning:

.         Several of us went over to Fox River Park to look for the
Worm-eating Warbler. Eventually we were able to see 3 of them flying around
and foraging on the trees. We heard their song and chip notes, which do
sound a lot like chipping sparrows, but not in this case, as we watched one
sing.

.         And from Curt Jacoby and Tim Hahn's WisBird posting - other detail
to find this area.

 

I arrived around 3:30 PM and a pair of birders were just leaving who had
seen it about 30 minutes earlier.

Entering the woods I met Sandy Pearson who was looking for WEW to no avail.
She toughed it out but it was cold & she left about 4:30 PM; there was
virtually no bird activity or sounds in this area - robins & a woodpecker.
Around 5:30 PM, Kinglets, Yellow-rumps, Chickadees, and WB Nuthatches all of
a sudden started activity all around me, and robins were foraging on the
ground.  In following the robins, I saw one WEW near one of the robins also
searching the forest floor debris and watched it for about 20 minutes about
10-15 feet away, exactly as photographed by Curt Jacoby.  No chipping call
or peeping of any kind.  I left just before 6 PM.
