It was a warbler

I google “black and white warbler “ and cracked up when I found out that was its name



I love birding so much!!

My Mom was a backyard birder. She had binoculars, a bird book and a notebook and would note the arrivals.

I used to put out seed and suet but that has become a bit of a task. I do still keep a little heated bird bath so they all have water over the winter.

in February. It was so distinctive that I was able to look it up when I got back to the hotel. It was hopping up the tree trunk like a nut hatch. So I didn't recognize it as a warbler. What a lovely little bird! Thank you for the picture.
