American Redstart

Setophaga ruticilla

Description:

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.

Habitat:

Trees on a small tropical island

Notes:

Another lifer!
