American Redstarts arrived back north in the second week of May. Below are photos of both the male with its striking orange-red and black feathers and the female with its yellow and gray all taken on three different dates at Rock Cut State Park. The top two photos (5/9/10); the third photo (5/23/10) I came across a female sitting on her nest; the bottom photo (5/31/09) was taken with my old SONY DSC-H7 so the quality isn't as nice as my Canon Rebel.
