Black and White Warbler

Trade Card for Arm & Hammer and Cow Brand Baking Sodas; illustrated by Louis Agassiz Fuertes
Commonly called the 'Black and White Creeper,' this handsome little warbler is seen in spring 'creeping' and climbing up and around tree trunks, limbs, and fallen logs in search of insects and their eggs. He does not tarry on one tree as long as the Brown Creeper but after a short visit flits away to a new hunting ground. Of the Warblers, the Black and White is among the earliest to arrive in spring. The nest, which is found on the ground at the foot of a tree trunk, is constructed of grasses and bark and lined with hair or rootlets. Four or five eggs, white with brown speckles, are laid. The range is eastern North America.
