Painted Redstart

["William J. Hunter" <william4 at sisna dot com>]

Hi.

Just to let you now that my wife and I went about a third of the way up
the River Walk today in Zion Park and there was the Redstart, still
singing and "dancing' it's little heart out. It was on the west side of
the walk, in a Cottonwood, just south (where the rock wall begins on the
path) of the seep/weep after the rock overhang. At one point I thought
that I heard another further up stream, but that was never confirmed.
The park visitor's center didn't have a clue when I asked about Redstart
sightings. that's been corrected.

One beautiful male bird.
