A Chestnut-backed Chickadee in Port Townsend, Washington
"A handsome chickadee that matches the rich brown bark of the coastal trees it lives among, the Chestnut-backed Chickadee is the species to look for up and down the West Coast and in the Pacific Northwest. Active, sociable, and noisy as any chickadee, you’ll find these birds at the heart of foraging flocks moving through tall conifers with titmice, nuthatches, and sometimes other chickadee species."

Wikipedia: The chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) is a New World warbler. They breed in Eastern North America, from Saskatchewan to the Maritimes. Although an observation of a male in breeding plumage was recorded as far West as British Columbia. They are usually found south of the 50°N, with the north-west Georgia as the most southern extent of their breeding range.
They overwinter in Central America to northern Colombia, with a confirmed sighting from as far south as Ecuador. While they mainly spend their non-breeding period in Central America, with the highest numbers in Costa Rica, the chestnut-sided warbler does winter in southern parts of Mexico and some north-western parts of South America.

Grallaria ruficapilla
(Chestnut-crowned Antpitta / Tororoi comprapán)
This strikingly plumaged antpitta is both easily identified and one of the most easily seen of an extremely wary and notoriously shy family of birds.
Chestnut-crowned Antpitta ranges from northern Venezuela south to central Peru, and is subdivided into seven subspecies, which mainly differ in the details of their head patterns. It has a broad altitudinal range, from 1200 to 3600 m, and is found in all manner of forest types, but especially favors borders, clearings, second growth, patches of bamboo, and other disturbed habitats.
Photo taken at Reserva Natural RÃo Blanco. Here travelers can walk by ecological trails. It has an area of ​​4,932 hectares of cloud forest and is between 2,150 meters and 3,700 meters above sea level.

The Chestnut-naped Antpitta is a typical ground-dwelling Grallaria, although it sings from a low perch, and which strongly prefers bamboo thickets in humid montane forest at 1900 to 3150 m. Its geographical range extends from north-central Colombia to northernmost Peru. As is typical of the Grallariidae, very little has been published to date concerning this species’ ecology, although the eggs have been described, and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta is presumably a fairly strict insectivore. Three species of the Chestnut-naped Antpitta are recognized and these differ principally in their crown colour and the intensity of the saturation to the underparts, although there are also some differences in their vocalizations. The basic plumage pattern, common to all three, is of gray underparts with a darker face, and rufous-brown upperparts, usually brightest and most rufescent over the crown and nape. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chnant1.01

Chestnut - Castanea sativa the sweet chestnut, Spanish chestnut or just chestnut, is a species of tree in the family Fagaceae, native to Southern Europe and Asia Minor.
Shot in mid September this year.
The Bluish tint of the leaves is from the Blue sky that day.
Each Spring, on the Sunday closest to 11th May, people come from all over London and the South East to join in the local tradition of celebrating the blossom on the magnificent horse chestnut trees in Bushy Park.
The tradition originated in the mid-19th Century and continued until World War II. It was revived in 1993.
Chestnut Sunday has evolved through its long history but the central feature is a parade down Chestnut Avenue.
The photo shows the horse leading the parade and some of the crowds and the blossom on one of the chestnut trees.

Decided to take a slightly different editing style with this Chestnut sided warbler - a very patient bird for me. Just sat there while I pressed the shutter!

Endemic to the southern Atlantic Forest, the stunningly attractive and virtually unmistakable Chestnut-backed Tanager occurs from São Paulo south to Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil, as well as more narrowly ranging into adjacent northeast Argentina, Uruguay, and southeast Paraguay. At least formerly, this species was often treated as being conspecific with the Black-backed Tanager (Tangara peruviana), as the two were believed to represent nothing more than color morphs. They are only really separable in male plumage; as their names suggest, it is the color of the mantle, black in Tangara peruviana, and coppery rufous in Tangara preciosa, which is key to their identification. The present species is found in mature forest, perhaps especially near its borders, to at least 1000 m, and appears to show some preference for areas with a relative abundance of Araucaria (monkey-puzzle) trees. The Chestnut-backed Tanager is typically found in pairs, often within mixed-species flocks of insectivores.

"You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off." Louisa May Alcott
