    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
