I think we can all agree on one thing - warblers are tricky. Not only are all but the brightly-colored breeding plumage males tricky to identify, the rapid furtive movements of most warbler species make them tricky even to view long enough to get a good look at in the first place.

However by placing a BirdCam 2.0 by her backyard bird bath (few warbler species visit bird feeders), frequent Wingscapes contributor nancybirdies from Vienna, Virginia not only managed to capture this and a few other images of a male American Redstart, she helped to increase the Wingscapes BirdCam Life List by yet another bird.
Thanks Nancy!
