I refound yesterday's Worm-eating Warbler today in the tangled woods alongside the dog walk area at Hempstead Lake SP a bit after 2 pm. Actively feeding at eye level and close range, in loose association with some chickadees and gnatcatchers. Very cooperative, led to great views, and the bird even trilled a few times for comparison with the nearby Chipping Sparrows. Not much else of note apart from the regulars: virtually warbler-less apart from copious Yellow-rumps and a briefly-and-barely-heard snippet of probable Black-and-white Warbler song. Gnatcatchers and goldfinches were observed with nesting material, and I located one of the gnatcatcher nests.
