Black and White

Edit:
Much thanks to Abraham Lincoln for identifying this bird as the "Black-and-white-Warbler.

This cute little bird was tough to photograph. It rarely stood still long enough for me to get a decent photo. I wonder if Abe Lincoln can identify this little guy.

  2. That is exquisite. The osest bird family it remebeld in the UK is the tit family. It's a lot like what we call a coaltit, but that have blacheads. He's absolutely gorgeous. Interested to knwo what this is.

  5. Yes, it is a "Black and white Warbler." They are sort of wide spread through this area but the path goes way up into Canada too and obviously over to your state.

    It has a really high-pitched, back-and-forth song that really gets to my ears.

    Not sure you will be able to cut and paste that in to hear the song.

    It is really called a "Black-and-white-Warbler."

    Your photo of it is just right. I was able to make it larger to see the details and matched them with information I have.

    Oh, and thanks for the visit.
