STOPS ALONG THE WAY

CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER

25 Comments

This was the first and only time I’ve seen a Chestnut-sided Warbler.  Unlike many warblers at this reserve, it wasn’t hiding up in the pine trees, so I could get a clear shot. I wish it had turned a bit so I could have got more of its colouring but was still pleased to add another bird to my list.

    Congratulations on this recent addition! I have heard that Warblers are more elusive and therefore harder to capture a shot … good job!

    Nice catch, Belinda, warblers are very challenging to see, let alone photograph. CSWs are forest dwellers and as our area has been reforested, their numbers are increasing here. I hear them daily as we walk our trails. Looking forward to their return in May!

    Yay for new birds! We see this bird sometimes during migration, but not this year so far. It’s about the time for them to show up. I don’t have a good pic of one either, but this one is awesome even though it didn’t turn. 🙂

    It is always sych fun to add a new bird to one’s list. Even though this one didn’t want to co-operate, you have managed to get a clear shot of it.
