Dennis Rockwell's BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER is hanging tough along the Two
Rivers Benton County Park nature trail, but it can take a while to locate
it. It is loosely associated with half-dozen BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES. It is
an immature, probably female as it is quite buffy on the lower flanks and
vent. Very active feeder doing all the characteristic Black-and-white
Warbler things, scrabbling up and down the trunks of the exotic white
poplars dominant along the trail. It moves around quite a bit, from ca 100 m
west of the Mound viewing blind to 200 m east of that point at a white alder
grove. I found it first about 11 AM (perhaps it takes a few hours to get
warmed up) and we had it in view off and on until at least 1 PM (Saturday,
December 4). You might wonder what all the fuss is about, but I missed the
easy stake out in Seattle winter of 1996 and have been chasing elusive
transients of this species here for the past 28 years.
