Chestnut-sided Warblers breed in the northeastern and Great Lakes states of the US, and southern Canada as far west as Alberta.
They are found in transition woodlands throughout their range.
The males are strikingly patterned with a golden crown, dark back, and rich chestnut sides.
Females are similar in pattern and coloring, but are more subdued.
This one was photographed in mid-summer near Bar Harbor, Maine, USA.
