Monday Nature Mystery

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, Tricia Booker!

We had some great guesses! Tricia was the first to post the correct answer by just three minutes: American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla). This brightly colored warbler is often referred to as the ‘Halloween bird’. True to its nickname, they often flash their black and orange patches to flush out its next meal. This redstart was a female; they are slightly less bright than the males. To learn more about American Redstarts click here ([link removed]) .

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. Here is this week’s mystery audio clip:
