One last note on this subject: According to two of my warbler books, the
female Am Redstart is known to sing. How often she sings is unknown. I
forgot to mention in my last post that the juvenile male redstart doesn't
attain adult (orange) plumage until after its second molt.

I just saw a Peregrine cruising the Vail valley
above West Vail.I have heard that they sometimes
nest down valley in the cliffs above Minturn.
Maybe the site is active this year.
