A flash of green

 
At work today I looked out the window and noticed a small bird flitting around in a lupine bush.  I could tell it wasn't a sparrow, but wasn't sure what it was, so went to get my camera and then stepped outside for a closer look.  
 
As I approached the shrub I noticed a flash of bright green and then this young Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) appeared.
 
The weather was good for seeing migrants today, so I wasn't totally surprised, but it was a nice view!
