Black and White

Is the species staring in today's episode of the Warbler Show.

Here perched on a Virginia Creeper Vine (the smooth black 'vine' is the mister hose).

And now on a stump eyeing the ground level bird bath.

Heading in for a dip.

Like the previous two warblers, Prothonotary and Worm-eating, the Black and White breeds in our woods. And we see them when the arrive in the spring until they leave in the fall.

And they appear regularly outside our windows, much to our enjoyment.

All three of the featured warblers have continued to visit the yard, and did so today. As did another for which I saw only its wing and vent.

It's made several appearances this past week, and I'm pretty sure it is a Blue-winged Warbler, albeit a shy one. 

We'll keep watching ...
