Yes,that is a male American Redstart. Great pics. They are usually one of the first warblers I see in the spring. (in East Tennessee)

Thanks for the confirmation. It took a while to find a possible id.

I have some pics of a female nearby. I'll try to get those up today.

From you wish list I have Swan's Down poppy (white), various hostas, bloody dock (but it's from '06), Elecampane and Good King Henry. I'm interested in any of the following if you still have them: black cohosh, scullcap, woodside gold columbine, horehound, nasturtium day and night, nasturtium empress of india, cupani sweet pea, datura black current swirl, valerian, lemon balm citronella. I can still pick up my e-mail while I'm gone. Thanks, Catrina

These photos are of a female I thought might also be an American Redstart, but not so sure now. We also had Painted Buntings here at the same time.

I'm just a novice, but your last two photos look like a Prothonotary Warbler.
Is there some water, bottomland, creeks etc. in the area? They tend to hang out in those types of enviroments.

Thanks for the possible id. I did look it up and I don't think it is a Prothonotary Warbler because of the lighter markings. The trees in the photo are along a creek, but the creek is dry most of the time and this was during a lengthy drought. We are probably 200 miles from the western edge of the typical habitat for the Prothonotary Warbler.
