Spotted
The Chestnut-sided Warbler is a beautiful warbler known for its bright yellow cap, white face, black eye-line, and striking chestnut-red flanks. Males are more boldly marked than females.
Where to spot
Breeds in eastern North America, from Canada to the Appalachian Mountains. Winters in Central America.
How to spot
Look in young deciduous forests, clearings, and overgrown fields. It typically forages in the mid-story. Listen for its distinctive song, often described as "pleased, pleased, pleased to MEE-cha!"
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) in suitable shrubby habitats. Also seen during spring (May) and fall (August-September) migration.

This warbler is an "early successional" habitat specialist, meaning it thrives in young, regenerating forests and shrubby areas that emerge after disturbances like logging or wildfires.
