Spotted
A drab but distinctive warbler, the Worm-eating Warbler has olive-brown upperparts and buffy underparts, with a striking black and buff head pattern featuring a bold eye-line and crown stripes.
Where to spot
Breeds in eastern North America, from the Great Lakes region south to the Gulf Coast. Winters from southern Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean.
How to spot
Look in dense undergrowth, ravines, and steep hillsides in deciduous forests. It moves slowly and deliberately, often in the lower strata; listen for its dry, insect-like trill.
When to spot
Breeding season (late spring to summer) for song. Migratory periods (April-May and August-October) offer chances to see them as they pass through various habitats.

Despite its name, this warbler primarily eats caterpillars and other insects, not earthworms. It has a unique foraging style, methodically searching for prey among dead leaves and tangled vegetation.
