Eureka birder Sean McAllister was fortunate enough to find a very unusual bird -- a Worm-eating Warbler. Despite the name, the bird does not eat earthworms; it does eat caterpillars, but no more than many other warblers. Sean describes finding the bird:

"The bird was found by Tristan McKee on October 20.  I tried to find it for myself later that day but was unable to. A group of us found it the following morning. It was calling frequently which was likely the only way we could have found it, as it was otherwise skulking quietly in the dense, low vegetation. The call was a slightly buzzy zeep or zeet, usually repeated rapidly two-three times.  Shortly after we found the bird, it stopped vocalizing and the noise from the activity at the skate park and interruptions by disc-golfers made searching a frustrating challenge, so it seems that early morning is the best time to look for it."
