40. Black-and-white Warbler

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    This is one of possibly two rare warblers reported yesterday—the bird with the darker throat (a possible second bird had a whitish cheek, pale throat and weak flank streaks). Spotted this bird deep through tangles on distant tree, maybe 30-40 yards in: (35.5951684, -121.1220735).
    
    It was on the opposite side of bridge from where reported yesterday, this time being on the northwest side. We’d already searched once, and on our return parted ways. I wanted to check one more time on both sides of creek, and suspected a certain tree with a thick trunk where I’d seen a few shadows hoping around. This time when I scanned the tree, I saw two birds, a kinglet, and the other being the possible black-and-white warbler. I glimpsed black-and-white streaking on its back, head, and wings, and it seemed to have a pattern different than a black-throated grey.
    
    I then tried snapping a few pics, but that wasn’t working so well. I then played a bushtit flock call to entice it over while also psshing. The bird eventually flew over and I was able to see its black spotted undertail, white wingbars, and dirty black throat. It had thick black flank streaking on white underparts, and a black cheek patch. The bird darted from limb to limb curiously, and I took some photos.
