These teeny little black and white warblers are one of the earliest warblers to arrive in NS each spring!
Black and white warblers sport crisp black and white patterns that help them to blend in with tree bark as they creep along looking for tasty insects to snack on. Although they are often spotted up in the trees, they make their nests on the ground!
That’s right, these stylish little birds nest in the leaf litter on the forest floor. Many species of birds make their nests directly on the ground, so easy ways to help them are to stay on trails and keep pets on a leash!
