Coming soon to a forest near you.

American Redstart, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 20, 2017.
Tired of winter, looking forward to the migration.
Setophaga ruticilla
Like the Painted Redstart and other “redstarts” of the Neotropics, the American Redstart flashes the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them. Though these birds share a common name, they are not closely related to each other.
