Over the weekend, I saw this beautiful male Chestnut-sided Warbler almost still in breeding plumage, (except for the black cheeks), enjoying the sun coming through the upland forest :

Chestnut-sided Warbler
This update has been awhile in coming, again, mainly because of work and also the fact that I had 2 long trips back to back, having been to Cypress Hills and then Porcupine Plain within hours of each other. I will have a big update soon with all the Cypress Hills birds I managed to find.

Gorgeous fellow.
I only get to see these fellows during spring migration. I always love seeing those colors!!
Hi Nick,
This Chestnut-sided Warbler is simply a marvelous bird and you got wonderful shots of him. Strange that it is still in breeding plumage thought!
Thanks guys. Quite often we will see Warblers passing through on their way south again, still in their breeding plumage.
This of course is not always the case though , with most seen in their fall colours.
What a beauty! That first one is a stunner Nick.
Outstanding Photography,stunning Images.

Little cutie, he is! I love blogging, but I still can't learn to like Facebook!
Fantastic shot and extremely sharp. Of course the bird is also very cute ... I haven't seen till now such a fellow.
How very appropriately named Nick. Excellent work as always. FAB
Many thanks guys. A lot more to come soon !
You must be a bird whisperer as your close ups are consistantly perfect!
Wonderful photos
Dan
All of them are beautiful and tack sharp stunning photography :))
Interesting how serene the CSWA appears, a contrast to a few months ago when they were singing aggressively.
What magic you have to get these guys to sit still long enough for those shots!!! I saw my first chestnut-sided warbler today, but he wasn't as colorful, and it was all I could do to keep him in sight with my binoculars!!
GREAT job!!
Thanks everyone. I'll be adding a huge update later today.
