Black-and-white Warbler, Mniotilta varia

I keep expecting to see migrant birds because the trees are budded out with the unseasonably warm weather. But they aren’t showing up; bird migration must be controlled by things other than weather.

Finally last night I heard two of our migrant warblers: the Louisiana Waterthrush and the Black-and-White Warbler. I took the photograph above a couple years ago at the same place I heard a Black-and-White Warbler last night: along the ridge trail to The Point.
