Black-and-White Warbler

Many of my recent photo's were taken at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands. A series of ponds created to treat waste water. They have a network of walkways over the ponds creating a perfect perch for the birding photographer.

OMG! Where did the day go? I'll have to do my browsing tomorrow. Just 3 quick posts, then off to bed. What is it with Black-and-white Warblers? They always manage to hide behind some foliage?

Like KC, I struggled to capture a Black-and-White Warbler standing still and in the clear. They were too busy hopping about after bugs. This was the best shot I got, clear and almost in focus but not sharp enough to crop in closer.

Black-and-White Warbler (Mniotilta varia) Male, species sexually dimorphic. South Padre Island Convention Center, South Padre Island, Cameron County, Texas, USA. Barrier Island, small coastal woodland adjacent to Laguna Madre at ca. 2 m (6.6 ft) elevation.

A Black-and-White Warbler paused just long enough for this photo at Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, Florida.

Another view of the Black-white I posted last week.

This warbler came quite close to me as I sat on the ground getting bitten by ants.

It's really the same warbler, it just stuck around for a while.

The same warbler I posted a couple of days ago, but here he finally got what he was looking for.

When you first notice this warbler you might think it's a creeper or nuthatch the way it moves, but unlike them, it will move up, down and all around.

Once named the Black-and-white Creeper because of the similar way it feeds. The difference is that this bird will go in all directions, not just up a trunk or down.

Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) Photographed this little warbler in Lick Creek Park, College Station, Brazos County, Texas, USA. Bottomland hardwoods dominated by cedar elm and water oak with some water hickory at ca. 96 m (315 ft) elevation.

When shooting these energetic little warblers I usually use a faster shutter speed, knowing they may never sit still.

A little dark in there, but you'll get the picture.

After treking into the bush and coming out with nothing, I come across two different warbler species right next to a busy concession stand. This seems to happen very often. I think birds must like people.

There's always a certain satisfaction in getting a usable image under difficult conditions. Paul photo life list http://rustyblades.smugmug.com/Nature-Flora-Fauna/Birds/myBirds-of-the-World/15414769_Fiyot#1162196515_g6Xyf

I photographed this bird at the forest edge adjacent to an old apple orchard near my house in Orono, Maine.
