Mr. Pretty by Todd Wynia Via Flickr: This is an immature male vermilion flycatcher. I say immature, because the males start off with a black head and sort of a striped belly and eventually those parts morph to all red. This guy has some black streaks on his crest so I'm thinking just a wee bit immature, but very close to full adulthood. They're so flashy. I love 'em.

Of diversified habits innumerable instances could be given: I have often watched a tyrant flycatcher (Saurophagus sulphuratus) in South America, hovering over one spot and then proceeding to another, like a kestrel, and at other times standing stationary on the margin of water, and then dashing like a kingfisher at fish.

"Unique small gray flycatcher found exclusively along fast-moving rivers and streams. Often perches on rocks in the middle of a waterway, but also along the edge. Plumage is also unlike any other flycatcher; pale gray overall with diffuse black cap and black wings and tail. Sexes similar. Pumps tail."

Red as Red Can Be by Todd Wynia Via Flickr: It wasn't too hard to spot this male vermilion flycatcher at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Rather eye-poppingly red in my opinion. I almost feel like I should squint looking at this photo. Don't you just love his Zorro maask?

Every year at the beginning of spring an eastern phoebe gets stuck on the porch

When I tell you I crept up on them like a beloved cartoon rabbit, I’m not kidding.
