687 American Redstart. 
Length 63 inches. 
Though the Redstart has the habits and tastes of the Warblers, the 
male is without the yellow and green that are such a family characteristic. 
But his attire is no less brilliant. 
Upper parts, throat, and breast shin- 
ing black; bright orange at upper 
half of the tail, middle of wings, and 
under the wings; belly nearly white. 
Redstarts are very active, and as 
they dart about after insects they 
have a peculiar habit of turning 
somersaults and spreading their 
wings and tail as if to show off 
their fine clothes. These charming 
little birds are most frequently 
seen during the spring migration.
