American Redstart

The American Redstart is a striking warbler owing to its predominantly black color. Like other black birds, exposing for them can be difficult. Thankfully, the forest canopy can provide the right diffusion of light to allow for the correct exposure. Here the Redstart is observed singing loudly within its favored habitat: moist, deciduous, second-growth woodlands with abundant shrubs. I love this photo, not only does it highlight the halloween colors of this species of bird, but the Lichen growth really speaks to the habitat of this bird.
