American Redstarts

Here are a pair of American redstarts which are nesting near the corner of our house. Methinks there's probably a cowbird in the nest, as well, as I saw a female watching the nest-building activities earlier in the season.

Very nice Al

Thanks everyone. I think it's interesting that the color patterns are the same on both genders, but where one is black, the other is grey, and where one is orange the other is yellow.
