Worm-eating Warbler at Azalea Pond, NYC Central Park



Vee Nabong

''Many Neotropical migrants, including Worm-eating Warblers, are territorial on both their breeding and wintering grounds. Amazingly, they often return to the exact same patch of land each summer and winter, year after year.

Late in incubation, the female Worm-eating Warbler sits incredibly tightly on her nest, relying on her camouflage to keep her nest safe. If she is flushed, she will flutter across the ground with her wings and tail spread, acting helpless to lure predators away from the nest.''
