The American redstart is a smallish warbler. The reserve is notable for dragonfly, nightjar, redstart, woodcock, tree pipit, stonechat and adder. Rarer birds including osprey, black redstart and great grey shrike also visit the common. The American redstart ("Setophaga ruticilla") is a New World warbler.

The black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) is a small passerine bird in the redstart genus "Phoenicurus". Surprisingly, redstart chicks did not suffer from sharing the nest with a Cuckoo chick. The Painted redstart ("Myioborus pictus") is one of the most well documented flush pursuers. Among common European birds, only the black redstart ("Phoenicurus ochrurus") has a similarly coloured tail. In North America, the smallest known bird prey is the American redstart ("Setophaga ruticilla"). Seasonal birds include the ring ouzel and the redstart. It is unrelated to the Old World (Common) redstart. It is not very closely related to the common redstart.
