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.
