Black-and-White Warbler

This is one of my favorites—a Black-and-white Warbler flying from perch to perch, singing it's high-pitched squeakyt song: wee-see-wee-see-wee-see (sounds like a squeaky wheel).

This difficult exposure situation, with patchy sunlight and a bird composed of blacks and whites, shows how well my Canon 7D handles high contrast. Even in clips where portions of the bird are in full shade and other portions lit by sun, the results look really good (at least to me). I really do love this fabulous new technology!

There was a bird just like this one at my work today. Flew into a window twice. I rescued it and he is fine. I think he was the cutest little thing!

His song just woke the cats up from their nap.

what is the bird heard in the background right at the beginning? Like a flutey downward spiral - we hear it all the time, especially in the Laurentians and no one can tell me what it is!

please help!

This bird just flew into my window.

Don't worry, it recovered and flew away.

@aMUSEher I just assumed they were saying "haha!" "hehehe!" "hahaha!"

My neighborhood bird community loves listening to all of these recordings. Some of the birds will do fly-bys to try and see where the calls are coming from...I do wonder what they say to ones another...?
