American Redstart in Olmsted County
2021-06-05

Common in Olmsted County in the Summer season

Stumbled across this female redstart building her nest while I was following a deer trail in search of the Acadian Flycatcher on State land adjacent to the Whitewater WMA in NE Olmsted County. She was very active, flying to streamside and returning with some sort of down, which she would nestle into and arrange it around her. I did find the flycatcher but this was a nicer picture.
