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.

Next to the road a variety of wildlife on my way to Alaska this summer.

A small creek in a tiny little village in Alaska – known for its Salmon Run in the early Alaskan summer months.

Sometime in June every year the Salmon come from the Pacific Ocean and race to their spawning grounds. A few weeks later, Grizzly and Black Bears realize that food is served. That’s when they come to fish for Salmon in this Creek.

On my road trip to Alaska this year I visited this place for the third time and for two days early in the morning I could watch this Grizzly having a feast, catching and eating 4 Salmon the first day and 3 the second day.
