One of my favorite trail companions is the Black and white Warbler. These friendly little guys are very curious about people and will come right up to you if you pish at them.
This one found me at Suggs Farm in Holly Springs, N.C. and had no problem with me taking his picture.
Black and white Warblers are a unique species in the Warbler world in that they are the only ones who move through the trees like a Nuthatch.
Nicknamed the ‘Zebra Creeper, this bird goes up and down and around tree limbs and trunks searching for insects as it pokes in all the nooks in the bark.
It was fortunate that I was able to catch one right side up and sitting still in this series of photos 🙂
