One of the Southwestern speciality warblers, the beautfiul painted redstart often forages high. However, in the spring he can be seen down low while singing to protect his territory. Here I saw him near Emory Pass in the Gila wilderness (Click). I also saw them in Portal during the nesting season. They place their nests on the ground and that is another opportunity to get a good look. Here the male is bringing food to the nest flashing his trademark tail (Click).
