Redstarts

It was another good day in the Growlery Garden watching Warblers picking bugs and splashing in Oakwood Creek. I got a passel of pitchers of various species. Lorna was on a boat on Minnetonka, a day or two in the Big City with her sisters and friends, so I am going to just post Redstarts, the way she would have.

The males (with the orange tint) are not quite as flashy as in their Spring breeding plumage, but they are still gorgeous creatures, as are the females, the ones Lorna calls "Yellowstarts".  They are both proud of their tails aren't they?











These are for her, the photos she would have taken had she been here. - Gunnar B.
