Setophaga Pensylvanica
Went to Middle Run Natural Area, New Castle, Delaware yesterday. The place was loaded with all kinds of birds. It was very challenging to get good shots, the birds never sat still and lots of trees for them to hind in.
On a quiet backwater off Lake Illawarra, we came across this family of chestnut teal. The male is on the right, the female on the left and five nearly full grown offspring in the middle.
I took a road trip last week in search of some warbler species that aren't common in my area. This Chestnut-sided Warbler was one of the species I hoped to get a look at.

It was lovely to see some Chestnut Teals in Skeleton Creek on Saturday. Mrs is on the left here.
It looks to me that this is a male chestnut teal who is losing his
breeding plumage.
He was part of a couple who had 4 ducklings which is very late in the breeding season.

Have a few of these little birds that join the other chickadees for the sunflowers and nuts, I do notice they don't seem to enjoy each others presence too much
Cologne is also known for its green belt and many parks ... not just for the Cathedral and the Carnival.

Tiny bird with a strong bill. Males are glossed metallic dark blue with a chestnut belly and yellow shoulder. Females are mostly olive-green with a gray crown, throat, and central belly. Note the chestnut vent. Found in the canopy of humid forests and forest borders; often accompanying mixed-species flocks. The call is a series of rattling notes.
Another shade of blue for this Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Wikipedia: The chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) is a New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America and in southern Canada westwards to the Canadian Prairies. They also breed in the Great Lakes region and in the eastern United States.
The chestnut-sided warbler breeds in Eastern North America, from Saskatchewan to the Maritimes. 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. These birds are Neotropical migrants, and are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
Conservation status: Least Concern
