The threatened American Redstart needs trees
The American Redstart is a small migratory songbird that nests in the birch and maple trees of New England in June. The female is a cryptically colored bird with grey and yellow plumage, and it is known for its unique nesting habits. This species builds its nests in well-hidden locations, such as in the dense foliage of birch and maple trees. The nests are difficult to spot due to their camouflaged appearance. For Redstarts, whose populations are growing smaller, success depends heavily on the availability of the trees that serve as their home, not only for nesting but also for feeding on insects. Habitat loss and fragmentation of wooded areas can have a negative impact on the survival of this species.
