American redstart
The hardwood forests of Marion County are full of colorful creatures, especially during the spring and fall migration. Twice a year the black and flame-colored American redstarts pass through, moving frenetically among the trees. Adult males are black and orange, females and juveniles are dark gray and yellow-orange. This one was spotted on the Swamp Trail at Silver Springs State Park.
