American Redstart
Setophaga ruticilla
The travels from as far south as northern South America to as far north as northwestern Canada and southeastern Canada. Rarely do they visit the western USA. These birds appear as small sparks or flickering flames as they forage the canopy in search of their insect prey. Constantly in motion, these burds are difficult to photograph while feeding.
