The Black-and-white Warbler looks exactly as its name would suggest - covered with black and white streaks and markings. It is a common migrant and breeding bird in mixed woodlands of the eastern US and southern Canada. Its easily learned, repetitive "WEE-SEE WEE-SEE WEE-SEE" song is sure to be heard in the forest on any spring morning. One of the most acrobatic warblers, Black-and-white Warblers often hang upside down or cling to the side of a tree much like a Nuthatch. This male Black-and-white Warbler was photographed at a woodland during spring migration in central New Jersey, USA. Photo taken with a Nikkor 300mm f4 EDAF lens on Kodachrome 200 film.
