🌎 Chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica)

The chestnut-sided warbler is a small songbird with a yellow crown, black eye stripe, white cheeks, and in breeding plumage, distinctive chestnut flanks. Females are duller. Non-breeding adults are lime-green above with a white eye-ring and pale underparts. Chestnut-sided warblers breed in eastern North America, favoring young, regenerating forests and shrubby areas, and winter in Central America. They forage actively among low branches for insects, often holding their tail cocked. Their song is a musical "pleased, pleased, pleased to meetcha!". No subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Males sport a distinctive scarlet head and crest, while females have a grey head and crest with pink and yellow feather edges underneath. Their call is a unique, creaking or grating sound.

No subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Vulnerable (IUCN 3.1)
