The American Redstart warbler is an active and attractive bird that flits about showing patches of colour on its half-spreading wings and tail. It is common in eastern forest edges and second growth woodlands.
The adult male is primarily black with red-orange patches on its wings, tail and sides. Females are gray above and white below, but wings and tail patches are yellow.
It breeds from southeastern Alaska, across lower Canada, to Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado and northern California. Its primary habitat is second-growth woodlands and thickets with saplings.
Its voice is a 5 or 6 high-pitched note or 2-note phrase: "chewy-chewy-chewy, chew-chew-chew".
