Candelita, American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) (Mc)
* La candelita norteña o pavito migratorio (Setophaga ruticilla) es una especie de avepaseriforme de la familia de los parúlidos que vive en América. Tradicionalmente era la única especie del género Setophaga.
* Los adultos miden una media de 12 cm de largo. Los machos son de color negro en la cabeza, las partes dorsales, la garganta y el pecho; el vientre y las plumas cobertoras de la cola son blancos. En los flancos del pecho hay manchas naranjas brillantes, también en las rémiges del ala y en la cola.
En las hembras, la cabeza y las partes dorales son grisáceas o grisáceo oliváceas, y las partes ventrales blancas. En los costados y la cola hay manchas amarillo limón brillante.
Los juveniles se parecen a las hembras pero los machos presentan tintes naranjas en los costados, además de presentar algunas manchas negras en el cuerpo.

The American redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) is a New World warbler. It is unrelated to the Old World redstarts. It derives its name from the male's red tail, start being an old word for tail.
The breeding males are unmistakable, jet black above apart from large orange-red patches on their wings and tails. Their breast sides are also orange, with the rest of their underparts colored white. In their other plumages, American redstarts display green in their upperparts, along with black central tails and grey heads. The orange patches of the breeding males are replaced by yellow in the plumages of the females and young birds.

Paruline flamboyante - Chipe Rey Americano
She was catching insects in the Pin Cherry blossoms.
Blue Sea, QC
This is one of my favorite birds, the male American Redstart. It's a small bird, about 5", all black except for a white belly and striking patches of orange on it's tail, wings and sides.
It's hard to believe that these small birds (among many others) migrate from their wintering grounds in Mexico and as far away as South America.
Seen in Magee Marsh, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA. Magee Marsh is a noted birding hotspot on the southern shore of Lake Erie, but it often seems to have more birders than birds.

American Redstart, Setophaga ruticilla
Thank you to all that take the time to look at my photographs and comment or like them. It really is appreciated. To see more please visit www.kevinagar.uk
I spent about seven hours on this day, tracking and shooting these beautiful birds ... and the American Yellow Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler and Northern Waterthrush. Got a shot or two of the Yellow Warbler I'm happy with. None of the Blackpoll Warbler or Northern Waterthrush I like well enough to upload. But I have quite a few of these beauties. So, be prepared to be bored with similar shots for awhile. :-)
A little story on the days activity: I shoot from the driver's side window of a Silverado 3/4 ton pickup ... not easy with a Sigma Sport 150-600mm telephoto lens on a Nikon D810. I really have to get me a beanbag mount from Lenscoat one of these days soon to save the wear and tear on the arms. Anyway, I park as close to the (wrong) side of the woods road as I can get ... practically on top of the alders. Well, one of these little guys caught his reflection in my side mirror ... it's pretty big on a pickup ... thought it was another bird and went a little nuts. And here am I going just as nuts because it's too close for the lens to focus ... even if I had on the 70-300mm that I had with me rather than the 150-600mm that I had on the camera. So I scrabbled for my iPad I had in the console and got a few shots ... nothing great ... out of focus ... but it does show it in action. Oh, and it was so enthralled? excited? angry? ... who knows what? with its reflection that it actually came into the cab of the pickup for a second and landed on my knee!!! And no folks, I don't have a photographic record of that ... but I do have a witness. My wife had been sitting in the passenger seat reading, but when the Redstart got interested in the mirror she was distracted by the commotion ... both mine and the bird's ... and actually saw it land on my knee. I only felt it, but she saw it!
Fun stuff! Almost as good as the video I have up here on Flickr of a Tree Swallow going for a ride on my finger. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
*** Please note the navy blue colour of the head! It is strange, to say the least. From a distance these male birds appear black, orange, and white ... which agrees with everything I read. But in the closeup shots I took of this one, that is obviously not the case. First, I thought maybe it was the lighting, but then discounted that because it appears in a lot of different poses. Then I thought it might have something to do with the bird's age. You see, the bird is obviously a male, but juvenile males look like the females of the species ... nothing like this ... and both have a gray head. So I thought maybe this is a very young male and it hasn't quite changed completely yet. Seems unlikely though. So perhaps it's just an anomaly ... a variation in species that sometimes occurs in nature. Albino moose and birds come to mind. Anyway, I can't seem to find anything on it. Maybe someone on here knows.
I does remind me of a closeup photo of a loon I have here on Flickr. Before I took it, I would have told you the bird was black and white. Not so! As you will see if you care to check it out.
Ce même mâle est resté plusieurs secondes sur cette perche dégagée et j'ai pu capturer plusieurs postures. Voici une que je trouvait différente et jolie.
A first Fall Male.
This is my fourth Warbler species for this year's Warbler hunt.
I also posted shots of a Black-and-White Warbler and Magnolia Warbler
At this time of year, the Warblers come through in waves and are constantly feeding and moving through various light conditions. I go more for quantity than quality, but try to get shots that represent the species clearly enough.

Out my home office window. After spending hours stalking warblers in the forest preserve and getting bubkes.
Setophaga ruticilla
Another bird from the New England trip was this American Redstart. They seem to be in almost constant motion, making them quite challenging for photography since I usually see them under the canopy. Thankfully this one hung around for a while allowing for some decent photos.

I had planned to heat East into Eastern Manitoba to catch the spring migration of warblers and others. However the pandemic closed down the Canadian provinces and then in BC travel between Health districts. BUT travel between Northern BC and the Interior Health District was permitted. So we headed up to Fort St. John as it is on the Eastern side of the Rockies and catches the edge of the migration. I managed five lifers, 3 warblers, a gull and a flycatcher. This is my fifth warbler.
This young man was found in Beatton Provincial Park, Fort St. John, BC. He breeds across Canada and winters in Central and Northern South America.

Found this small tree out in the middle of nowhere and for some reason the warblers really liked this one tree. so i waited for them to perch on the open branches with the bright green background. This redstart was especially friendly.

...these small colourful warblers are very agile as they catch insects in mid-flight and then alight onto tree branches.

I found redstarts hard to photograph on my birding trip to Michigan. Seems like they were always in dim light or one flit in front of me. Here is a male photographed in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan.

"Young male American Redstarts have gray-and-yellow plumage, like females, until their second fall. Yearling males sing vigorously in the attempt to hold territories and attract mates. Some succeed, but most do not breed successfully until the following year when they develop black-and-orange breeding plumage." Cornell
