Every year for a few weeks in the spring and a few in the fall warblers migrate through the area. This is usually one of the most exciting time of the year for a lot of the birders, since most everyone loves the colorful warblers. Unfortunately it does not usually last all that long and before you know it most of the warblers have moved on past us. Fortunately their are a few species that seem to hang around most of the summer.
The American
redstart is one of the most common warblers that breeds in our area. Mature males are red and black in color while female and immature males are yellow and gray like the bird pictured above. I usually spot
redstart fluttering from branch to branch looking for insects to eat, which they often catch on the fly. I photographed this
redstart up at Park Point in Duluth back in September.
