Love this photo. The bird is being tempted but puzzled about the feeder's contents. Mahalo for sharing.

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.
Redstarts aren't very common at our feeder, but I think they are migrating thru here now.

Redstarts are insectivores which is why you seldom see them at feeders. She's obviously looking for something other than seeds. Great picture.

He/she is really checking YOU out. Neat shot capturing behavior.
Yes, she didn't hang out there very long. I was lucky to get off a shot.

You're right about that. All the other pics I got of her before this were her flitting around in surrounding trees.

I love the cock of the head that that degree! And the light through the tail feathers in the other picture is quite nice.
