Look down, not up for the Worm-Eating Warbler

The Worm-eating Warbler is a very differently acting bird than many other members of the warbler family.

Most of them are rather excitable and nervous birds of the treetops. This bird, however, is rather quiet and spends most of the time on the ground or within a few feet of it, walking, not running, and sometimes creeping along a tree trunk like a Brown Creeper or a Black-and-white Warbler.

It also has a distinct habit of searching and poking into clusters of dead leaves to extract spiders and insects and is extremely fond of the larvae of moths.
