Black and White Warbler is an unexpected Thanksgiving guest
Roger Simmons,
I headed out to the Orlando Wetlands on Thanksgiving morning but left disappointed because I didn’t see many birds. However, I had reason to give thanks later in the day.
While out in the backyard deep-frying our Thanksgiving turkey (which was incredible, by the way), I looked up and saw a Black and White Warbler. This was the third time this bird (or one of its buddies) has visited my backyard, but I had not seen one in more than a month.
This holiday guest was a real surprise and allowed me to get some good photographs of it this time.
Maybe I should fry turkeys in the backyard more often if it attracts these birds?
Maybe Black and White Warblers like fried turkey? This one showed up in my backyard while I was deep-frying our Thanksgiving turkey.This Black and White Warbler looks directly into my camera during its Thanksgiving Day 2023 visit to my backyard.This Black and White Warbler visited my backyard on Thanksgiving Day 2023, and it was the first time I had seen on the birds in my backyard in more than a month.This Black and White Warbler has a good grip on the bark of an oak tree in my backyard in November 2023. They have extra long claws that help them to hang on to bark.“I see you,” seems to be what this Black and White Warbler is saying while ducking behind a branch in my backyard in November 2023.Do not adjust your computer or phone. This little Black and White Warbler is walking around an oak tree limb upside down in my backyard in November 2023.
This protected area of Florida scrub land is nestled between some subdivisions and a self-storage business, but it’s the perfect habitat for Florida Scrub-Jays.
