At 7am on the morning of July 21st-2016, Avery Bartels found an adult Female Chestnut-sided Warbler near the banding nets at Rocky Point Bird Observatory in Victoria. The bird was foraging along shrubs in the area. This location is not open to the public.
On July 25th, the bird was caught in the banding nets at RPBO and Serena Johnston banded the bird.
On August 2nd, David Allison saw the bird in the net lanes. The bird appeared to be in heavy moult and had no tail.
On August 4th, Avery Bartels had the continuing bird which has now been identified as a Second Year Female, after being aged in the hand.
On August 10th, David Allison saw the continuing bird again in the area near to the banding nets at RPBO but it has not been seen since.
This is the 62nd record for the province of BC.
