Worm-eater in the Woods...(High Island, Texas): 16 April

In the afternoon I stood hypnotized at the Boy Scout Woods drip while birds came in from the Gulf of Mexico, especially when 3 male Painted Buntings lit up the drip at once. Yellow Warblers joined the regular Indigo Buntings and Orchard Orioles that were dropping in from Mexico during the afternoon too. Checking the photo blind or hide occasionally also got me up close and personal with male Hooded Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Gray Catbird and others. Best of all though was this wonderful Worm-eating Warbler (photo).
