Black-and-White Warbler
Mniotilta varia
Superficially similar to Blackpoll and Black-Throated Gray Warblers, the Black-and-White Warbler’s foraging behavior is more like that of a nuthatch. While most warblers are seen foraging among the leaves and flowers in the tree canopies, this bird makes its living looking for invertebrate prey hidden in the folds of tree bark.
Rare to uncommon in the western USA, this bird’s expected range is in eastern USA and Canada. Unlike most of its warbler cousins, this bird’s genus survived the sweeping reclassifications of 2011.

Description: Black-and-White Warblers forage like no other warblers. While most warblers look for insect prey among the leaves in trees, these birds probed crevices in the bark, like nuthatches. The Convention Center on South Padre Island, Texas is a first rate birding destination. I spent several hours in the morning and several more in the afternoon on this day. |
