Worm-eating Warbler -- Bluff Lake Nature Center

[Chris Rurik]

This evening, at Bluff Lake's annual Blues & Brews event, my mom, dad, Dr. Chau (!), and I peeled away from the great music and hubbub of friends to walk around the (very full) lake. On the trail along the north side of the lake we discovered a WORM-EATING WARBLER silently foraging in one of the shorter trees lining the lake. While I attempted to get a picture (and probably failed), my dad watched it eat a green caterpillar about three times the length of its beak. It was near a bench that faces the lake, about fifty yards from the west end of the lake. It was silent.
