The Black and White Warbler are small songbirds that have the most zebra-like colouration of any Canadian bird species. Their head, body and undersides are boldly striped in black and white, while their tail and outer wings are more solid black.

Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio’s In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to “Bird Tweet of the Week” on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website.

This episode aired on Saturday May 14th, 2016.
