The first Chestnut-sided Warbler of the spring is always special and this handsome fellow had no trouble at all getting my heart pounding. These little beauties love the tangles of second-growth vegetation and this one was no exception. I watched for quite some time as it flitted around in the dewberry patch occasionally popping out for a look around. I got a workout trying to keep up with him.
