Black and White peek-a-boo

Black and White Warbler, Magee Marsh OH

Woodpeckers unwittingly supply nest cavities for many other species. I never thought of the Black and White Warbler as one of them, but this B&W was obviously laying claim to a cavity along the Magee Marsh boardwalk. It sat with its head out like this for about 5 minutes then disappeared back into the cavity and did no reemerge for at least the next 15. I know, because we waited, hoping my friend Rich could also get a shot. (I tried to get him on the bird earlier, but another photographer stepped into the spot I made for Rich. 🙁
