Black-and-white Warbler

Also known as Black-and-white Creeper, Pied Warbler

Black-and-white warblers behave more like nuthatches than typical wood-warblers, creeping along tree trunks and large limbs to glean insects tucked deep inside bark crevices. Males sing a high-pitched song resembling a squeaky wheel while defending nesting territories in mature deciduous forests. These long-distance migrants traverse vast stretches of the Americas each year, often traveling individually or alongside mixed-species winter flocks.
