I found the Black and White in a lonely willow tree south of the warden's house at Utter's Marsh just at the base of the hills and east of the gum trees on top of the hill. I lay down on the ground and watched it for about 15 minutes. It came up to about 2 feet from my head on its first round and on the second it came within 18 inches when it seemed to notice me, became startled and flew. The crown was black having a white line than the center of the crown. The upper belly was white. There was a black line from the eye back. The rest of the upper parts were black and white the black of the back having a bluish cast. The sides had broad gray streaks the flanks had a buffy wash. The belly was white. The plumage was glossy. It fed indifferently among the twig grove the smooth bark of the willow. It was very active never still.
