Painted redstart

Painted Redstarts grow to be about 12.5 – 15 cm in length. The plumage of these birds is mostly black in color, although these birds have white wing patches, white outer tail feathers, white bellies, and white semicircles around the bottoms of their eyes. The most distinguishable feature of a mature Painted Redstart is its vivid scarlet-red breast. Painted Redstarts are unusual amongst birds, and especially amongst warblers in that the female Painted Redstart is capable of singing just as well as a male, and during spring courtship a pair will often bond by singing together.

The Painted redstart is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Painted Redstart is a common inhabitant of pine-oak woodlands in the foothills and mountains of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. In the northern part of its range it prefers the bottoms of deeply shaded canyons with permanent water, while farther south it is more likely to be found in arid woodlands. This bird is often heard before seen; its call is unlike that of any other North American wood-warbler and rather more reminiscent of a Pine Siskin (Carduelis pinus) call. More

The PAINTED REDSTART is a rare but irregular visitor to California; some have set up breeding territories in southern California mountains and there is an unsuccessful nesting attempt, while a smattering of others have been spring or fall vagrants, or exceptional winterers. Almost all records are from southern California but there are at least three in northern California, including the Monterey County bird (photo above). All of my California records are listed below.
