About These Birds

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.

Barbuda Warbler

The Barbuda Warbler is a Vulnerable wood-warbler of the family Parulidae endemic to Barbuda island in the Lesser Antilles. Weighing about 7.2g with a wingspan of 10.1cm, it inhabits dry scrub forest on this small island. Its extremely restricted single-island range makes it highly vulnerable to hurricanes and habitat change.
