This little warbler is a common member of the fall feeding flocks of birds foraging in the wooded forests of Highlands Hammock State Park. This is the “zebra” of the flock and its niche is looking for insects in the bark on the trunks and branches of the trees. It has the appropriate sharp call “stick” which doesn’t make it obvious to the hawks but lets the other members of the flock know that it’s right there with them. It’s flight call a high hissing “fss” will alert them in the presence of a predator as well.
