American Redstart in a Bush

Another under-rated Warbler from Magee Marsh and the Biggest Week in American Birding: the American Redstart is common but still a beautiful little bird. This specimen is a bit bedraggled for some reason but that did not keep him from singing his heart out…to no good end, as it happens, since the wave of female Redstarts, which always trails the males, did not hit Magee until two days later 🙂 I guess he could chalk it up to practice.
