Black Redstart; Colirrojo Tízon

Ouch!! No.

Redstart is mainly red body, grey back and wings, black face and throat and white forehead. Black Redstart is same family but the body is mainly black with white patches on the wings and a red tail. Female is lighter grey but still has a red tail, which can be seen on the picture. I becomes very obvious when the bird flies as it fans its tail. There is another one without a red tail, it is called a Blackstart, but I have never seen it, it lives in another part of the world.

Birds of America, John James Audubon
AUDUBON: Two copies (out of only 200) of the first edition of Birds of America by John James Audubon (1785-1851) sold last month at Sotheby’s for $11.5 million, and $7.5 million at Christie’s. With beautiful life size colour plates, this classic work contains over 700 North American species.
Have you heard of a book selling for 11 million dollars?

It's OK, I wasn't sure if you were aware, and non-bird people on here might be confused and think they are the same.
The situation is the same here, if one turned up it would be rare but they are very common further north.

and also ,why is this known as Redstart? Don't see any red on it? Maybe the male has red on it?

Love the picture of the red poll among the lesser gold finches!! Am surprised though that cackling goose and white fronted goose is considered rare sighting!
Thanks for sharing.
How did the red poll show up here?

I am aware that they are not the same. But since you are a" Bird person" i thought that you would be interested.
Thanks for the link!

nice!

Lots of pictures of the Redpoll here: http://ebird.org/ebird/alert/summary?sid...

A Redpoll is not the same as this bird and is nothing like it. An interesting fact nevertheless, I will check it out.

Recently in a rare bird spotting, a "red poll" was spotted in California!
