Here’s another picture I took at last year’s Biggest Week in American Birding, the annual event held in and around the Magee Marsh east of Toledo. It’s going on this week, and it’s undoubtedly the best place in the world to see a great variety of warblers as you’ve never seen them before.
There is no mystery to how this bird got its name: chestnut-sided warbler.
They spend the winter in Central America (something I’d like to do, as well), and then come north in the spring to their breeding grounds in the northern US and southern Canada, from the Atlantic coast to the Canadian prairies.
