American Redstart Model

Description

Model of an American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) created by Rick Light of Crockett County, TN. The American Redstart is a fairly common migrant across the state, a fairly common summer resident in East and West Tennessee, and rare in Middle Tennessee. Birds arrive in mid-April and depart by early October. Populations in the state are declining, but the reasons for this decline are not clear.
