The warblers migration appears to be on--I can hear them giving their locator calls and the occasional male singing, but they're staying so far back in the thickets that I can't see them, much less get a decent shot, most days. However, I lucked out on Saturday and caught this cute little girl. She's a first fall Chestnut-sided warbler. You can tell by the chartreuse cap, gray face, yellow wing bars and the eye-ring, which all identify it as a Chestnut-sided warbler, and by the lack of chestnut on the flank, which identifies it as a first-fall female.
She was, for a warbler, quite obliging, and posed until the mosquitoes scared madame hazel off...
