Only the second place we had seen a Hooded Warbler (multiple times @ Kay Environmental Center), this male wasn’t flighty and allowed us to stare at his “Hood” and adore. My second favorite Warbler! (Of course the Canada is first!)
This little guy, a Chestnut-Sided Warbler, was most accommodating as he foraged feverishly in the trees at a great warbler spot, Garret Mountain. As this was our first Fall with Warblers my first encounter with this bird left me unsure. What a difference a few seasons make in the birds plumage! 🙂
