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.
Bachman's Warbler
The Bachman's Warbler is a small wood-warbler historically found in swampy forests of the southeastern United States, weighing about 8.6g with a wingspan of 11.8cm. It is believed to be Critically Endangered or possibly extinct, with no confirmed sightings in decades. Its decline is attributed to habitat loss in both its breeding and wintering grounds.
