New warbler for the list


This clump of choke cherry trees at the marsh has always been a prime spot for seeing birds, and Tuesday was no exception. It wasn't until I got my photos downloaded to my computer that I was able to identify the bird that I had seen. It turns out to be a first for me at the marsh, a chestnut-sided warbler. It's likely a juvenile, although it could be an adult in its summer dress. It's also possible that it was hatched at the marsh, as its the right kind of habitat for these birds apparently.
