Probably 40-45 years ago, well out to sea on a pelagic trip to Sta
Barbara Is. environs, a Wilson's Warbler circled the boat several
times and finally landed on my bent jacket sleeve, as that hand was
in my jacket pocket, keeping warm. It seemed comfortable there, so I
let it be, although it restricted my use of binoculars. The trip
leaders saw it and decided it would more likely survive if they put
it into a box with air holes in the relative warmer cabin. There it
stayed until trip's end. When the box was opened, the bird was dead.
I still remember it sadly.
