Detalhes da observação
Third trip and I was starting to wonder if this whole thing was an elaborate hoax! Quiet until 8:30. As I was walking down the path to leave, it started singing part way up the right fork of the trail (toward the farm). Very clear sweet see see see followed by quicker but controlled triple end notes (“sisterville”). Audio obtained. There’s a huge old double-trunk oak thirty feet off the left side of the path not far from the fork on the farm side. It started there and worked its way back up the hill. I followed through the brush and eventually found it perched in the middle of a thicket in the understory, preening and singing away. It was pretty unconcerned with me. Very crappy phone video obtained. After about 3-4 minutes it made its way further back and west until it was a hundred feet up the left fork of the trail. I bushwhacked in from the trail a second time and found it a few inches off the ground, singing every thirty seconds or so. It sang consistently for about half an hour total. At 9:05, I left to get to work and heard it start up again as I was just at the end of earshot range. Earlier (around 7:40) I had a probable visual when the bird seemed to be following a group of three redstarts across the path to the farm. It perched right above the trail, but from where I was, below and to the rear, I couldn’t convince myself that it wasn’t a Worm-eating Warbler. Maybe I should have collected the poop sample that it sent my way. It was completely silent, then dropped down and disappeared. In retrospect, after watching it sing for a while, I’m pretty confident that what I saw of the head / brow pattern was a better fit for SWWA than for WEWE in this first encounter. I’m glad that it ended up not mattering because I wasn’t going to take the “tick”. Anyway, the bird I saw clearly was a light tan warbler with no wing markings, pale undersides throat to vent, pale face and eyebrow with a longish bill and appearance of a distinct cap.
