American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla), Cuba

Adult female American redstart.

I saw lots of redstarts today, but most were doing what redstarts do best -- skulking in heavy foliage, nipping out at a mile a minute to catch a tiny insect, then disappearing again. This one, however, was foraging like a brown creeper -- working her way vertically up the trunks of trees, checking for insects in the crevices, using her tail as a prop. Maybe this is only new to me because I've mainly watched them in birch/poplar woodlands where bark-crevices full of bugs aren't so plentiful.

One of a pair, the stunning male

landed on a branch right in front of me, poked his tongue out and flew off before I could get a shot. Grrrrrrr!!!!!

I've seen female and immature redstarts a dozen times, but this was the first time that I've seen a male that I could call (I think I saw one years ago, but was never sure). Even so, he was remarkably hard to photograph, moving all about. I wish I had gotten a side shot worth posting - they are beautiful little warblers.

Sc name- Setophaga ruticilla

this guy was so elusive and skittish. This was the only shot I had on him

Por fin ayer este cabroncete se dejó fotografiar. La luz estaba bastante sucia pero algo se logró.

Entre tantos nombres que le han puesto no se porque no le llaman culo inquieto, porque ni en ráfaga hay modo de hacerle dos fotos en la misma pose.

American Redstarts are common warblers in migration in the Shenandoah Valley, and are also common breeding birds in some parts of Shenandoah National Park. The Limberlost Trail and the Pocosin Cabin area both have high numbers of these beautiful and very active little birds.
