A favorite of mine is the Black-and-white Warbler. These birds are frequent migrants, their high contrast body creating a striking appearance. Their long hind claws and heavy legs help them to nimbly maneuver through forest habitats.

You can spot the Blue-winged Teal’s dabbling blue-gray head—with a distinctive white crescent in front of the eye—in wetlands this time of year, having just recently arrived.
