American Redstart - Setophaga ruticilla - Горихвостковая древесница
Tikal National Park, Flores, Petén Department, Guatemala, 11/17/2021
This bird is in a confusing plumage, not really matching closely any native species. But if you look at the condition of the feathers, you can see just about all feathers are worn and frayed. This eliminates this as a bird hatched this year since they would be in pristine plumage with fresh feathers. Thus, we are likely looking at an adult in heavy moult. The shape of the bill suggests this is a wood- warbler. There is an orange-yellow patch on the side of the breast at the bend of the wing. The only Canadian warbler with such as patch is an American Redstart. But redstarts typically have long, colourful tails in any plumage. So the only logical conclusion is that this adult female has also lost its tail and is starting to grow it back in. Prince George, BC. July 31, 2014.
Gorgeous American Redstart in Norwich this morning. We saw a lot of things, including the first Scarlet Tanager of the year and an Ovenbird.
This little fellow serenaded me for the better part of a half hour tonight, sometimes from as close as 25 feet away. A beautiful little bird from the warbler family.
The song of the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) can be heard here:
Planet Earth Needs your Help
This month is water conservation month in one of Florida's very populated counties, so I thought it would be nice to see how we might apply the United Nation’s concept of working with Nature to solve a problem on the planet. This latest article looks at what is currently done to conserve and manage water and what could be done using Nature’s method to manage and conserve this vital resource.

What I believe to be an American Redstart warbler (Setophaga ruticilla) singing in the Palo Alto Baylands. From the frequent singing, I assume that this is yearling male.

I can't believe that I didn't know how beautiful these little birds got - you never hear talk of them compared to Baltimore Orioles and Scarlet Tanagers, but they hold their own in my opinion.
They're finally here! Each late afternoon after work, my husband and I have been going for walks. Each time we've seen a new arrival to the area.
