The American Redstart is a dazzlingly colored and energetic warbler. Males are black with bold orange-red patches on the sides, wings, and tail, while females and immatures are yellow and gray.
Where to spot
Breeds across broad areas of North America, from Canada to the southern U.S. Winters in Florida, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.
How to spot
Look in deciduous or mixed forests and woodlands, particularly at edges or in areas with dense undergrowth. Watch for its constant flitting and tail-fanning; listen for its varied, often buzzy songs.
When to spot
Best observed during spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration, when they are found in various wooded habitats. Present on breeding grounds in summer.

This highly active warbler is known for its unique foraging style, constantly fanning its tail and flashing its bright patches to startle insects into flight, then catching them mid-air.
