A charming surprise

The morning began with a visit from the oven bird,
Movement across the way caught my eye. Oh, a black and white warbler working the ground at the edge of the building, everything being examined. Never expected that.
Checked upon the doves in the afternoon
Time to leave the garden when I saw movement near the door. The black and white warbler again working the ground. This is atypical. The BWs work the trees, belly to bark, probing for delicious bits.
This young female is obviously a grounder. There are two lattice pieces  against the building, obviously a source of food for the BW. I stayed to watch totally enchanted.
I'mnot sure what it found,.. a snail?, ... no idea, but it ate the thing down whole.
To be continued this afternoon.
