[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

I had an American Redstart "gnatcatching" in the branches of a willow stand 
adjacent to Simerly Creek at home in Hampton (Carter Co., TN) Friday, July 23, 
at about 8 p.m.
The bird looked most like illustrations of a first-year male (spring) bird, 
which would actually mean he is in his second year. He had a lot of orange 
rather than yellow in the plumage, but a uniformly gray head. I could not 
detect 
any black feathers among the gray. He did a lot of tail fanning while in view.

Yesterday evening, had Hooded Warblers and an Ovenbird during a quick 
woodland walk.
