About These Birds
Blackburnian Warbler
The Blackburnian Warbler is a small, brilliantly colored North American wood warbler famous for the male's brilliant orange-flame throat and head in breeding plumage. It breeds in coniferous and mixed forests of eastern North America, wintering in South America from Colombia to Peru. It forages high in the forest canopy, gleaning insects from needles and foliage.
American Redstart
The American Redstart is an active wood warbler weighing about 8 g with a 12.4 cm wingspan, with males showing bold black-and-orange plumage. It fans its tail and droops its wings to flush insects from foliage, a distinctive foraging behavior observed across its North American breeding range.
