American Redstart
Setophaga ruticilla
These birds travel from as far south as northern South America in winter, to as far north as northwestern and eastern Canada during the breeding season. Rarely do they visit the western USA, except in the mountainous regions in the far north. These birds are far more common in the eastern USA. When the breeding season is over, American Redstarts travel south, staying in southern Mexico, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Southern Baja California (Mexico) is another location where we find them in winter.
My first meeting with American Redstarts was on South Padre Island during their migration north. When foraging, American Redstarts appear as sparks or flickering flames in the canopy as they pump their wings as they search for their insect prey. Constantly in motion, they are challenging subjects to photograph while feeding.
Breeding season finds these birds in second growth broadleaf forests in North America, where they usually stay in the mid to lower sections of the canopy. In winter they seek woody habitats, often near agriculture. Shade-grown coffee plantations seem to be especially attractive to them.
Today’s science recognises two subspecies of American Redstart:
- S. r. ruticilla breeds in the eastern USA.
- S. r. tricolora breeds across Canada and the northwestern USA.
Until my 2022 Canadian adventure, all my meetings with this species were in south Texas. Laguna Atascosa NWR provided me with my first meeting with this species in spring 2020. That was a male bird. I met my first female bird in spring of 2021 on South Padre Island. In Canada, once I reached Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta, I enjoyed their company, even as I found my way to the Al-Can Highway in British Columbia.

Description: This was my first meeting with the American Redstart. If you study the images you may see a tick attached to the bird's neck. Atascosa NWR was a short drive from my camp in Brownsville, Texas, and remained open during the COVID-19 crisis, when many other nearby birding hotspots shut down. |

Description: Like flames flickering in the trees, these birds flash their colors to startle insect prey into revealing their presence by their movement. Spring visits to South Padre Island can produce unexpected results. Sometimes there are lulls in the migration, and other times there are spikes. |

Description: American Redstarts have a flamboyant style of foraging that makes spotting them in the canopy relatively easy. Tuesday’s birds at South Padre Island (Texas) were all great birds for me, but most of us at the Convention Center expected overnight north winds to provide a feast on Wednesday for interested birders. |
