This tiny guy (4") came so close after this, if I'd pointed my camera at him, he could have hopped into the lens hood. I'd wished I'd had my macro lens for an extreme closeup. If you look closely, you can see layering of the feathers on his head.

The American Redstart, Setophaga ruticilla, is a New World warbler. They breed in North America, across southern Canada and the eastern USA.
These birds are migratory, wintering in Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
This species is unrelated to the Old World redstarts. This species derives its name from the male's red tail, start being an old word for tail.

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.

This, to me, is one of the cutest birds out there. They stop over at the cemetery to visit and refuel during migration. They're usually pretty cooperative.
Thanks for all the comments and faves!

This female Redstart was collecting spider web for her nest. I got to watch her keeping busy at this task for quite a while.
"A lively warbler that hops among tree branches in search of insects, the male American Redstart is coal-black with vivid orange patches on the sides, wings, and tail. True to its Halloween-themed color scheme, the redstart seems to startle its prey out of the foliage by flashing its strikingly patterned tail and wing feathers. Females and immature males have more subdued yellow “flash patterns” on a gray background. These sweet-singing warblers nest in open woodlands across much of North America." Cornell

Setophaga ruticilla
Old Mine Road was FULL of American Redstart yesterday. Every stopping point had at least 1 pair, and often more. I had 6 in one spot fighting and singing. I found a nest at one spot.
But this was the best photo I was able to get in the poor light I had most of the day.

In pursuit of bugs, an male American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) finally moved to an outer branch of this emerging willow where I could get a shot. They are very fast and busy warblers that often flit from branch to branch in the shadows and they had eluded me much of the previsou day at Horicon Marsh NWR. This was a lovely way to start a beautiful day shared with good friends!
