Chestnut-Sided Warbler
Setophaga pensylvanica
The Chestnut-Sided Warbler is a striking bird. They winter from just north of the Yucatan peninsula and south through Panama. In spring they migrate north and spend the breeding season from the Great Lakes north to southern Canada and east to New Brunswick and Pennsylvania. Some birds settle along the Appalachian Mountains as far south as western Tennessee.
These birds are not known to stay in old growth woodlands. Instead, they prefer young regrowing woods, both when breeding and on their winter grounds.

Description: Chestnut-Sided Warblers are easiest found here in south Texas. They nest in the upper mid-west and into Canada. They choose deciduous and brushy habitats recovering from fire or logging for raising their young, seldom for more than a few years, before moving on after the vegetation matures. The Convention Center on South Padre Island, Texas is a first rate birding destination. I spent several hours in the morning and several more in the afternoon on this day. |
