The American Redstart is the most common among these two warblers, covering the whole of the continent, excluding the northern tundra. The Painted Redstart, which is the larger bird of the two, has a range along the southern borders of the United States into Mexico.

These two redstarts are members of the Wood-Warblers group. Preferring forests and bush lots, where they make their nest and find their foods. Redstarts are non-stop singers in the Spring, and by tracing their calls, they can be found, always moving, hopping from limb to limb, as warblers are known for.
