Description
A Black-and white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) is singing its spring song on a branch at a farm in Summers County, West Virginia, in front of a beautiful green background.
This bird is often a favorite warbler for beginning birders, because it is easy to see and easy to recognize. It was once known as the "Black-and-white Creeper," a name that describes its behavior quite well. Like a nuthatch or creeper (and unlike other warblers), it climbs about on the trunks and major limbs of trees, seeking insects in the bark crevices. It often feeds low, and nests even lower, usually on the ground.

The texture of the wood is awesome. I've haven't seen one of these yet this winter. Beautiful! It was a pleasure to view this wonderful and named bird image that is now exhibited among the homepage features for the group, Wild Birds Of The World - A Nature Photography Group. L/F
