Title: American Redstart
Post by: lovesbirds on October 06, 2009, 10:47:05 PM

Spotted a very pretty American Redstart in our Burlington garden today.  It is the first time I have ever seen one so I identified it on the internet.  He was catching bugs in the lilac tree and appeared very comfortable preening himself for a long time in the cedar hedge.

If it's any help, I use a Flickr account (www.flikr.com (http://www.flikr.com)) and post them there and copy the http:// address and paste in your post here.  Hope that's helpful!
