Location: Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

I'm a Black and White Warbler
You might think this picture is flipped, but it's not.
I like to climb around, upside down,
And pick bugs from their hiding spots.

Bonus Post: Rare Bird Alert!!! I saw what I thought at first was a Belted Kingfisher on my feeder. Then I realized that the color and size were totally wrong. I'm pretty sure that it's a type of Roller bird. Can anyone confirm the species?

Location: Dry Tortugas

I am a Black and White Warbler.
My description is the same as my name.
I like to pluck insects from moss,
Conveniently, Mniotilta is my genus name.
