1939 Redstart Warbler

A beautiful 1939 vintage postcard. National Wildlife Federation Wildlife Postcard Series REDSTART (Setophaga ruticilla) Of all the warblers, the handsome Redstart is perhaps the most colorful and active. He is extremely restless and constantly hopping from branch to branch in a never-ending search for food.

The warblers do a tremendous amount of good in destroying insects, and it almost seems the Redstart was anxious to do the most. They especially like the thick shrubbery and low-hanging branches and have little to no fear of humanity. So intent are they in their search for food that they will dart with precision and speed at an insect even though a person is standing directly beside the spot. They are found from Canada through the western states to the Carolinas. Copyright 1939 National Wildlife Federation, Washington, D.C.
