I caught both a male and female American redstart over the last few days.

Good ones CD , they are very stunning birds. What did you say to them to get them to sit still for more then 1.5 seconds ?

Thanks everyone; I appreciate it. Yes, the migration is on; it always seems way too early, but one must enjoy it regardless. I've already had 14 warbler, and numerous other species, visit our pond.

Absolutely too cute Al!
Lovely colors on that male who looks very wary in that pose, and I'm glad you told me that was a female Redstart as I'd have had no clue. Now send them my way :)

Thank you all very much for your kind comments. Getting a good broadside shot of a male redstart has been difficult for me, but this fellow posed for quite a while for once.
