American Redstart
 | You might see me in the tops of your trees as I migrate through Florida in April and September. I'll flit so quickly from branch to branch that you may find it hard to take my picture. Look for me to flash my tail feathers as I hop after bugs. Most Likely Found: In the treetops, In your backyard When: Migrant Where I've photographed: Circle B Bar Reserve, Fort De Soto, Lake Apopka |
I have written 10 posts including a photo of a American Redstart

Circle B Migrants
September 19, 2010 - ...I felt like playing with Photoshop today, so I made another warbler and migrant bird collage.
