A male American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla), a small wood-warbler recognized by its striking coal-black plumage with vivid orange patches on its wings, tail, and breast. He had stunned himself by flying into our window, despite the window clings we have to prevent this. Taken June 12, 2016, in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

American Redstart's are such jittery birds, but I guess most warblers are. This one paused very briefly and I was happy to get a shot between the leaves. #americanredstart #warbler #photography #wildlife #birding #birdphotography #birds #birdsofmastodon

"As fidgety as a redstart" should be an expression, I think.

Today’s #TMYK (4/365) is a #BirdFact.

The American Redstart is in the European Expansion of #Wingspan. But it is native to the Americas. Weird.

While confirming that, @Jillianmarisa found the range map and for some reason, it doesn’t like Kentucky?!? Odd island. Anyway there’s your weak fact for the day. No redstarts for youuuu, KY
