Black-and White Warbler
ABCD
Some people would say
Stripes of black and white on gray
Are dull coloring
ABDCÂ Â Â
But clearly, they
Have no taste for elegance—-
Or haven’t seen me !

Taken at Hok-si-la Park on 5/7/11 as the Carpenter Nature Center bird banders did an educational session on bird banding.
A black and white warbler just like this one was in my birch tree this morning.
It’s been a GREAT spring for warbler migration. During the past week the storms have stalled out a wonderful diversity of migrants in our area. You are fortunate to have had a B & W Warbler in your yard! I’d take it as a compliment on your landscaping
