~~~Love those Lifer's~~~

 Another lifer for me this Spring was the Chestnut Sided Warbler,this was May 8!!  I had no idea at the time what the bird was!!
I finished my walk, and as usual I am very anxious to download the photo's to see what I have, that is always the best part and even better when it is a bird I have never seen before!


My first shot didn't show much, but it is a bird so click click click!!  : }


Then there is a face ...Hmmm!!


A this point I have my warbler guide out and, searching!! 








When I started to really see the color of the sides near the wing I was like "Wow" I have
never heard this name in the Warbler spices let alone seen one!!


He gave me quite a few opportunities to get some half decent shots of him!!


My second lifer warbler this Spring!!
