Chestnut-sided Warbler
The Chestnut-sided Warbler has a yellow-green crown, a long chestnut line on its sides, white underparts and a streaked back. The immatures are uniform yellow-green above, dull whitish below, with a white eye ring and yellow wing bars. The song of the Chestnut-sided Warbler is rich and musical with an emphatic ending, sometimes interpreted as very very pleased to meet cha!

The Chestnut-sided Warbler consumes insects and spiders gleaned from the foliage of shrubs and other low plants, or caught by flycatching. It occasionally eats a few seeds and berries. The Chestnut-sided Warbler conceals its nest from 1 to 4 feet above the ground in briar thickets, bushes, saplings or vines, such as spirea, raspberry, red-osier dogwood, azalea, laurel, gooseberry, meadow-rue and hazel.

The Chestnut-sided Warbler breeds from south-central Canada, east to Nova Scotia, south to east-central United States and in the Appalachian Mountains. It winters in the tropics. This warbler prefers young, open, second-growth woodlands and scrub.
