I spent a couple hours birding in the woods. I came out of the trees where a short creek runs a short way across a field and empties into a nearby pond. At the edge of the woods, there was a tangle of bushes near the creek. The Wilson’s Warbler was foraging rapidly around in the branches about six feet off the ground.
