Chestnut-sided Warbler fledgling.
Saw ravens at Beech Hill this afternoon. Saw towhees and goldfinches, Savannah sparrows and a Black-and-white Warbler. But the most fun thing I saw was a group of little warbler fledglings—Chestnut-sided Warblers—following at least one adult around, twittering.
Love those little warblers.
