Spotted
A strikingly patterned and active bird, the Painted Redstart flashes its bold black, white, and red plumage as it flits through the forest. It often hunts insects with dramatic aerial maneuvers.
Where to spot
Breeds in mountain pine-oak and mixed forests of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Winters from southern Arizona and Mexico south to Central America.
How to spot
Look in open woodlands and canyons with oaks and pines. Watch for their characteristic tail-fanning and wing-spreading behavior while foraging. Listen for their clear, whistled song often described as "cheer-cheer-cheer-chee."
When to spot
Best seen during the breeding season (April-August) in its northern range, and year-round in much of Mexico and Central America. Active throughout the day, but especially in the morning.

Painted Redstarts are known for their unique foraging technique: they spread their tails and wings to flush insects from foliage, often making them visible from a distance.
