I normally don't target the little guys and I greatly admire those that do. The smaller the bird the larger the challenge. This is my first American Redstart keeper image taken at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Boynton Beach, Florida. It's a substantial crop but the resolution of my a1 came through for me. This is the male, showy in his orange and black tuxedo. The female is a nice yellow and brown. Redstarts dart around the trees, landing for brief seconds before flitting off. This guy was kind enough to stay and extra second or two. (Setophaga ruticilla) (Sony 200-600 at 60mm, f/6.3, 1/500, ISO 10k)
This American Redstart male was singing among vegetation that makes it look like autumn, but it was actually late May. So breeding season, and it is sporting its bright adult finery. The setting was along the trail leading to the coast in the Seaside Adjunct of Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Adult Male / Macho Adulto
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.

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Sept 26, 2021.
Migration has slowed, this is from Sept.
Setophaga ruticilla
Like the Painted Redstart and other “redstarts” of the Neotropics, the American Redstart flashes the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them.

Trying to see what the crazy neighbours are doing.

Like the Painted Redstart and other “redstarts” of the Neotropics, the American Redstart flashes the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them. Though these birds share a common name, they are not closely related to each other. In fact, there are other unrelated birds around the world—such as the fantails of Australia and southeastern Asia, and other redstarts of Europe—that share the same foraging tricks.

American redstart, Rondeau Provincial Park, June 30, 2022.
For most of June we have yellow warblers but no others.
This redstart popped in late in the day and was a welcome surprise.
Setophaga ruticilla.
American Redstarts are common spring and fall migrants in the East. It is a later spring migrant (arriving in May in much of the U.S. and Canada) and a mid-season fall migrant (September-early October).

While not as colorful as the male, this female American Redstart is a beautiful warbler. In this photo I managed to get a frame full of this female during my visit to Magee Marsh during the Spring warbler migration back in 2016.
