I was excited to see this bird yesterday afternoon as I have never seen one here before. Perhaps just passing through on its way to Central or South America This is either a female or a juvenile male. The male redstart is a striking black and orange.
I remember this day in May well, I it was earlier than the 22nd despite what the date says here, and it was very, very cold! This poor little redstart was cold and did not want to leave, he was all puffy and miserable looking. He liked feeling the warmth from the hand here, even though that hand wasn't that warm either.

The American Redstart is about 5 1/4 inches long and is a fast mover, actively flitting, with drooping winds and spread tail.
Basically a black bird with bright orange patches on its wings and tail.
This is one of the spring warblers we get in the yard during spring migration.
They look like the want to be a baltimore oriole when they grow up.

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.

One of my favorite Warblers... happy to see these guys back in Florida. Mead Gardens in Winter Park.
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.
The American Redstart was as curious of me as I was of her. Only one of us was rude enough to flash the other though. My bad.

Log Cabin Area, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA.
A rare bird for the San Francisco Bay Area. He remained high in the tree and pretty much in the shade.
