Setophaga ruticilla
The male American Redstart is coal-black with vivid orange patches on the sides, wings, and tail. Has a relatively wide, flat bill and fairly long, expressive tail. Females and immature males have more subdued yellow “flash patterns” on a gray background. This little warbler nests in open woodlands across much of North America. Very active warbler as it looks for insects.
In a wooded area at a local campground in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
