Mniotilta varia
One of the earliest-arriving migrant warblers, the Black-and-white Warbler’s thin, squeaky song is one of the first signs that spring birding has sprung. This crisply striped bundle of black and white feathers creeps along tree trunks and branches like a nimble nuthatch, probing the bark for insects with its slightly downcurved bill. Though you typically see these birds only in trees, they build their little cup-shaped nests in the leaf litter of forests across central and eastern North America. (Cornell)

Congrats Tom, your great capture of this fast-moving little bird is Spotting of the Day! The tiny black-and-white warbler forages under tree bark for its food, and can often be seen creeping upside-down along the undersides of branches and headfirst down tree trunks.
