I went over with the camera after lunch to no avail. It was staying in
the tow cottonwoods on either side of the front of Gates Hall. The morning
hours are when we’ve seen it the last two days. We will be checking again
in the morning with camera ready.

Has it been seen since this morning? I’m out here now and haven’t
relocated yet

Niler Pyeatt and I saw a Painted Redstart on the Wayland campus in
Plainview yesterday and it is still there this morning in the cottonwoods
in front of Gates Hall (main administrative building). All black upper with
white patch on each wing, red underside. Sallying and moving around in the
cottonwoods and over to the bricks on the building. I guess its picking
off insects on the bricks in the sun.
Niler got a cell phone photo from his office window where you can see the
white patch on black wing, but it’s not good enough to share so I hope to
get a better photo later today if it’s still around.
I’ve seen so few redstarts that I originally and unintentionally called it
American because that’s all I thought of, even though I was looking at the
Painted Redstart in the bird app on my phone when I said it, so it got
recorded that way. Later Niler caught the error! Crazy brain fart!
Hopefully it hangs around a while!
