If the BWWA wasn’t a female it could have been a first fall male. It
did not appear buffy on the flanks, the throat was entirely white and
it had obvious streaking- not sure how thick? If it was a first fall
make it could not have been there last winter?

Hi Wayne,

Hope you are enjoying your new neighborhood!

I refound the female BWWA warbler across the road from Ona SP around

noon. It was on the north side of the road where the barriers are. From the
concrete barriers you walk north along the road and there was a beat path
into to trees on the right that takes one into a forested area where the
pure alder meets the spruce. I stopped in the trees and I pished in a huge
chickadee/kinglet flock and eventually the BWWA appeared on the trunk of a
leafless alder where it remained 5+ minutes. When I left the flocked
appeared to be going NE, away from Ona SP. I decided to fly back to Ona
park and let anyone there know that the warbler was around. When I got back
(a good 5-10 min walk) I saw someone birding on the east end of the
clearing at Ona and told him about the bird- he knew the spot and headed
out. I then quickly found the kinglet flock and the Mag flew out and across
from next to river into trees near the restroom. Shortly thereafter
Hendrik, Oscar, Kai, Ben and Isaac arrived and they quickly got on the
flock. Within a few minutes Isaac spotted a BWWA. This is quite a ways from
where I was seeing a BWWA 20 minutes earlier. Plus this flock was moving
from west to east- not like it just flew in from a 1/4 mile or more away. I
cannot imagine it was the same bird!

Thanks again to Phillip Kline and Andy Frank for getting me on the Mag on

Friday- had great looks (at both warblers).

Hi -

That amount of travel is far from impossible, but the liklihood of 2

birds is worth exploring.

Black-and-white Warblers in winter are highly variable in plumage, and I

suspect if 2 are present, both may have been photographed well enough to be
distinguished.  In particular, they vary in the intensity of the black
markings, and in the extent of black markings on the face.  Some birds
(immature females?) have relatively fine black markings, narrower crown
stripes, and relatively faces marked only by a an eye-stripe behind the
eye, and pretty much unmarked underparts.  Adult males generally have a
black cheek patch, and sometimes have remnants of their black chin patch
and streaked breast.  On them the black stripes are wider and more
intensely black.  So if someone wanted to go through all the ebird
checklists with photos, he/she might find good evidence of 2 birds - or not.

Tim Rodenkirk found a BWWA at Beaver Creek(don't know which side of

101)this morning. A meeting with HHerlyn et al revealed that Isaac Denzer had
seen a BWWA 0.25 mile from Tim at 15 min time difference. Is this species
likely to travel 4 1/2 football fields in that time frame? In any time
frame inside a regular winter home range?
