Chestnut-sided

Chestnut-sided Warbler: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, May 2025 — As I have said before and as I will probably say again, this year was not an easy year at Magee for warbler photography. The birds were there but so were the leaves, and getting clear, unobstructed shots of any warbler was very difficult…even if the warblers were as cooperative as the Chestnut-sideds often are. Chestnut-sided Warblers at Magee feed at eye-level and often right next to the boardwalk, where the little opening the boardwalk creates makes finding insects relatively easy. This one was singing…which made it easier to locate…though no easier to photograph. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
