  1. A lovely bird, which had eluded me in the Guatemalan highlands, so I was very pleased to encounter it in the sky islands of southeastern Arizona! Posted 7 years ago
  2. Agreed - a very lovely bird and an awesome shot too! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thanks!

  3. The contrast between the dull gray and the red, makes the red even more spectacular! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Yes I love it! It's actually a really unusual color scheme in that family. In fact, it's one of my favorites!

The red-faced warbler is a species of New World warbler.

Mature red-faced warblers are small birds, 14 cm long. They are light gray on top with a white rump and a white underside. The face, neck, and upper breast are all bright red, while the crown and sides of the head are black. The spot on the back of the head where the black crown and gray back meet is sometimes speckled gray, or sometimes plain white. They have a quirky habit of flicking their tail sideways while feeding.
