Greetings,

After viewing the Black-and-white Warbler up at Daroga State Park, I learned
several things about that species. One was how to correctly spell the
bird's name!!...it's not Black and White Warbler as I had it earlier. This
was quite a surprise and somehow seems like a strange way to spell it. The
other was an appreciation for the long and narrow bill shape of the
bird...related to its habit of reaching into bark crevices and other
crevices. I mentioned that it was foraging at the pine cones. Go here for a
photo comparison of some warbler bills, scroll down to the picture.
