2108_1966 Female American Redstart

Continuing with a mostly unplanned set of late season migratory birds. This female American Redstart posed jauntily on my garden fence in mid-August. Apparently the old wood is a great place to hunt tiny insects. Off and on for a couple weeks that part of my yard - which also has a few trees and shrubs - was a-hopping with warblers, sparrows, vireos, and other species that stop in our tiny prairie village on their way south.
