Always Probing

Black and white Warblers, such as this one, make their living by probing bark and moss for insects. These birds "have an extra-long hind claw and heavier legs than other wood-warblers, which help them hold onto and move around on bark," according to AllAboutBirds.org. This one was photographed at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary. And yes, it was upside down when the shot was taken.
