A handsome greenish-yellow, black, and white warbler with a chestnut streak on its sides is sitting on a branch singing his heart out. It’s a Chestnut-sided Warbler. Males sing an accented-ending song, with louder concluding notes. Many birders find it useful to remember the song by linking it with the mnemonic "see-see-see-Miss-BeeCHER." Nearly all singing is done within the male's territory, usually from elevated perches in trees. Males sing and forage intermittently, hopping from branch to branch. This photo was taken in a site along the Ausable River, which is also home to a variety of other warblers.
