Description
Black and White Warbler....Yes, that's my name! With names like Loon, Ibis, Coot, and such, this one is named for its actual colors...or lack thereof! Another good name could have been Speedy, as it flits in and around the trees very quickly!! Captured this image on March 21 in Port Aransas, Texas, along with a few other early Spring arrivals.
From allaboutbirdsl.org: "One of the earliest-arriving migrant warblers, the Black-and-white Warbler's thin, squeaky song is one of the first signs that spring birding has sprung. This crisply striped bundle of black and white feathers moves along tree trunks and branches like a nimble nuthatch, probing the bark for insects with its slightly down-curved bill. Though you typically see these birds only in trees, they build their little cup-shaped nests in the leaf litter of forests across central and eastern North America"
