American Redstart at Governor Bridge Natural Area

A gloomy morning with rain threatening, but we had a NE wind last night, which might help the migrating birds heading South.
I arrived near dawn, as usual, and there was quite a lot of activity after an hour or so. It was mostly Robins and Catbirds, with a few other mixed in, and I was able to find a few warblers. I had to use the flash, so no really great images.
Bug hunting was curtailed by a light rain.
