When settled for the suminei', Chestnut-sided Wnrblcrs may be 

 found in second growtlis, .scrubby cleurings, or the Intshy borders of 

 woodhinds. There is a suggestion in tlieir niovetncnts of the resth^ss 

 activity of the Redstart, us with drooped wings and slightly rai.sed 

 tail they flit among the lower growth. They have two songs, both of 

 which closely resemble that of the Yellow Warbler, though a practiced 

 ear can at once recognize 1 le song of either. 



Adults of this species are too conspicuously marked to be mistaken 

 for any other Warbler, but in the fall have a care in identifying the 

 very differently colored young.
