Sure! You're right in the middle of their nesting area (which covers most of eastern N. America N of Mexico). I've seen and heard many of them in the summertime all over the Twin Cities area, up in northern MN, and even had one while on a vacation in Missouri/Arkansas last week. All they usually require are large deciduous trees, but I have found them in pretty dense younger woodlands, as well.

I saw a bird that looked like a black and white warbler at my bird bath this evening. At first I thought it was a nuthatch (one lives in the neighborhood) but the patches of black and white were striped not solid like the nuthatch. It looked like a female with the area behind the eye not as black as the male and the breast area was streaked black and white. Does anyone know if black and white warblers could be seen in Washington Co in July? I've never seen one in my back yard at any time prior to today. Thanks Larry Sirvio Cottage Grove
