American Redstart
One of the later migrants along the Texas coast with the main push usually later in May. This is an adult male. They take two years to acquire full black and red plumage. The first year males look more like females but usually have dark spotting on their head and throat. This species used to be...- jmorlan

Juv/Female American Redstart? From Spearfish Canyon SD
Hi everyone, Saw this ruffled little bird at Spearfish Canyon in South Dakota last summer (16th July). My best guess at the moment is that it's a juvenile (/female) American Redstart, but I wanted some confirmation before writing that down. I feel like it could also maybe be a flycatcher of...- MaxesTaxes

American Redstart (2)
Another great angle I got while it was hunting insects. I honestly was surprised I managed to get so many good pictures with how fast and often they move around haha- SandhillCrane02

American redstart - female
As with so many bird species, the male is the more colorful one - though the female redstart may be grey, the flashes of yellow still make them striking- Zackiedawg

American redstart - male
The lovely orange and black colors of the American redstart really stand out in the dark pine forest. Unfortunately as they spend much of the time lurking around in the dark forests, you sometimes need to crank the ISO up to get them!- Zackiedawg

American Redstart Female
I was surprised to see this lady, possibly a young one, taking a bath. I don't usually see warblers do that. She seemed to enjoy it though, was fun to watch.- wonderview

Another from the archives. Don't see these birds out in the open like this very often. He was singing his very high pitched song with all his heart.- wonderview

American Redstart Female
A long shot through a window very early this morning. Haven't seen very many warbler type birds here this summer so far. Was glad to get this, even though it's not the greatest quality.- wonderview

The other male
Yes, it's true that most American Redstarts are more yellow than red. The males' "yellow" is more orange than the females' though, and some males are sufficiently orange to be bordering on red. Too bad this one was posed quite deep in the twigs :(- Doc Duck

At last!
After several days of one Yellowstart (female redstart) after another, I finally saw two males at that little patch of park in Stone Harbor. This one must be a youngster, still more yellow than red. The other one was much redder, but the shot I got of him was more cluttered by branches.- Doc Duck

American Redstart, Adult Male
These birds are very hard to shoot because they flit around in the trees and seldom sit in one place for too long. I assume because we were haveing a very windy day, he was more inclined to sit still while I took his portrait. These are one of my favorite Warblers.- Newton-W

American Redstart, Imature Male
This guy was chasing a flying insect along the ground that he had spooked from a bush. He wasn't about to give up on it. He was a bit clumsy and I had a good time shooting the action. If you are not familiar with the American Redstart, they flick their wings and fan their tail to spook insects...- Newton-W
