A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Setophaga pensylvanica
Adult males have a bright yellow crown and a chestnut stripe down the sides, hence their name. This is an immature bird.
I photographed it in a mixed forest of hardwood and softwoods, at the edge of a shoreline alder thicket.
Thanks Ashley. I spent a bunch of time trying to find an ID in my guides and just kept coming up with nothing. Yet in the back of my mind I knew what this was. Thanks again...
