The family of Warblers has survived each by developing subtle variations in their habitats. All eat small insects and are efficient in a special type of habitat. Due to the clearing and burning of forests, the Chestnut-sided Warbler has flourished due to their need for brushy, sunny clearings, and has become one of Algonquin Highlands’ most common species.
The Chestnut-sided Warbler measures 13 cm in length. Their colour variations change with age, sex and season. Males are similar to females, with a yellow green crown, a long chestnut line on each side, white underparts, and a streaked back.
The Chestnut-sided Warbler nests only a few feet off of the ground in a small tree or bush. They lay around 4 white eggs, spotted with brown, in a nest made from grass and bark, lined with hair and rootlets. They produce a very rich and musical song.
