American Redstart Series

Mud Lake, Ottawa
Daddy Redstart just hanging around and not helping with house work.


Meanwhile, Mum is nest building rapidly. This nest has almost tripled in
height in two days. Sad to see plastic being used.

Nice pair; I find the male to be very difficult to photograph; your image here is fantastic!

Very nice captures of this pair of warblers - - the Redstart male is one of my most difficult challenges in bird photography

Very beautiful photos. Hope they can nest without being disturbed too much. Many species use plastic (catbirds in particular) and it is a sign of modern times that many nests contain all manner of man-made material, from cigarette butts (yes, really), to synthetic filling from comforters or pillows, etc.

Two super shots Linda. The female wasn't in the nest this afternoon.

Very nice close-up of the male...Hopefully the nest building will be productive for her, and not have too much interference.

ps...Bring her some Dryer Lint...or pieces of yarn..
