Description
Nature's palette by Karen Cook - the Chestnut-sided Warbler adorned in its colorful plumage of yellow cap, white breasts and reddish brown streaks on its flanks rests on a branch of young spring leaves in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. A summer guest to Nova Scotia, this tiny songbird will winter in the warm tropics of Central America and will return to the same areas the following year. They are a colorful creature, showing off Nature's palette.

Karen you never seize to amaze me when it comes to the warblers! This is an amazing capture of a beautiful chestnut sided warbler! Do you wear camouflage and sit in the trees? Thank you for sharing such a lovely image!
Karen Cook replied:
lol Carl! No...I don't wear cammo or sit in the trees.but I am blessed to live near an area of their summer range. I have discovered that patience and standing still for minutes on end does pay off (sometimes) and makes the mosquito bites worthwhile!
Kym Backland

Karen Cook replied:
Thanks Kym, we are so lucky to be the summer breeding grounds for many migratory birds. He is gorgeous!
