Connecticut Warbler on Goldenrod trail (pet trail) on the front loop where 
the path has trees on both sides.  He was an adult male and not very 
timid. He flew up to a maple branch 6 feet off the ground, then after a 
moment went down to the back edge of the grass/snakeroot border. At first 
I could not find him but after about two minutes the grass wiggled about 
15 feet away from where I thought he had landed. I got to watch him walk 
through the relatively thin foliage for a short while before he 
disappeared  into thicker snakeroot.  Later, I returned to the area, and 
he popped up on a leafless branch, again about 6 feet up. He walked along 
the branch then flew down to the leaf litter about 30 feet from the trail  
and proceeded to walk around, looking for food.  He would take one or two 
slow steps then race ahead a few paces. Once he made it to some 
vegetation, he jumped up, snatching something from the underside of a 
leaf. He then walked behind a tree, and although I waited, he had 
disappeared.
