Puzzling

The fun of birding is trying to figure out what's in your face. My brain was not working. What was this?  Behavior: warbler. But which one. Only one thing to do, take lots of pictures and figure it out later. Later in the afternoon a more experienced birder told me this was a "fall chestnut-sided warbler".  At home, study images.  Of course, there's a hint of the chestnut-side. It flitted in and out of the leaves finding food. Beautiful little bird.
Final stop before heading home was the Oven. Flash of bold yellow behind the leaves. Warbler behavior, but I could not get a picture and then bird vanished into the deep leaves.  Drats!!  A gone "what's-it?"
