How to Identify:
This adult male warbler presents us with a rather simple identification challenge.  There are only two species that are completely black and white, Black-and-white Warbler and Blackpoll Warbler.  The large white cheek patch, black lateral throat-stripe, and fine streaking on the sides make this a Blackpoll Warbler.
