The answer to the title question doesn't really matter, but these warblers are entertaining to watch especially when they show off their uncanny ability to climb up and down trees. In fact, that ability sets them apart from all other warblers. The tree climbing is made possible with the God-given physiology of having an unusually long hind toe and claw on each foot.
You don't usually get the best photos while they are flush on a tree because of the lack of contrast. So, I waited for the little ball of fluff to come up on some branches. Small, but rather fierce, the B & W Warbler is known for its battles with larger birds like Nuthatches and other species. These photos were taken April 25, 2020 near the Zilpo campground on Cave Run Lake in Bath County, (KY).
