Vermillion Flycatcher

These birds mostly live in Middle America, but a few spend their winters between southern California and the Gulf of Mexico.

The coloring of these birds is typically dull, mostly grey, with one exception. The male Vermillion Flycatcher has a bright red color in his face, neck and chest. Just tail and wings are grey.

He is also known for puffing up his feathers in the air, when he sings.

Today, while I was sitting near the Colorado River at the Stateline of southern Arizona, he visited me over and over again and performed a really nice show.
