Wilson's Warbler was located in a tree with many other Warblers, Buntings and Tanager. My Bird ID was fine my tree ID not so much.
1st Tree which I observed for 45 minutes had Chestnut-sided and several other warblers. Park ranger then told me it was not a Ficus. The Ficus he sent me to was in the middle of a Mosquito infested field, several warblers but nothing special.
Finally decided to walkdown a service road that leads to the NW entrance that is locked unless you have a year pass and key. Next to the rangers residence is a large ficus that had Painted Bunting, Summer tanager at least 10 warblers including Bay Breasted female and the Wilson's Warbler male. Observed the Wilson from 10 am-11:45 am. Unfortunately no good photos but enough to confirm Wilson.
I went yesterday evening to look for the Wilson's Warbler and got he same treatment as Steven thanks a lot Pesold.
Forgot to mention I saw the Wilson today Oct 16.
I also recommend bathing in bug repellant before arriving, I forgot mine and probably carry now every mosquito borne disease known to man.
