A shy warbler of dense thickets and undergrowth, the Connecticut
warbler is generally quite difficult to observe. They also are among the last
warblers to migrate in the spring, and the earliest to migrate in the fall, and
thus often go unnoticed. Connecticut Warblers forage with a slow and
deliberate walk along the ground, a characteristic that by itself can be used to
differentiate it from the similar Mourning
Warbler.
