Folks:

I am forwarding an observation for Monday, 11/3/2003, from Jim Liskovec:

>This morning on the Coyote Trail at Rancho I had a busy little warbler
>with chickadees feeding in an oak tree area.  As usual I was without
>binoculars - this time they would have helped.  Based on what I saw, I'm
>pretty sure it was a Black and White Warbler.
>
>Have seen a few B&Ws over the years, but at first glance I thought it
>was a Black-throated Gray.  Upon longer looks over the 2-3 minutes of
>observation of the bird flitting through the trees, it looked like a
>Black and White.  Never very close, but I saw (1) a small bird with
>black and white overall (with no gray back), a broad, long white
>supercilium with black above, two white wing bars, white lower breast,
>black streaking on the upper breast; (2) a longish, thin, decurved bill
>( a good clear look at the bill ); and (3) behavior like a nuthatch -
>feeding on tree trunks and branches with head down frequently. No
>vocalizations were heard.
>
>I believe that a BTG has a shortish bill - this bird's bill was clearly
>a long one.  There was a lot of the bird I did not see because of the
>bird's movement and my lack of binoculars, but I feel pretty good with
>the ID.

Jim did not see it this morning, 11/5/2003.

Bill
