Vermilion Flycatcher - Selective Color

"Vermilion Flycatcher - Selective Color" by Patti Deters. This bright red songbird is a Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus obscurus) and was found at found at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge during late spring. Although common in parts of the USA, these bright little birds are mostly migratory so I was very excited to spot his vibrant red feathers among the tree branches. The dark feathers on the face crate a mask giving this passerine a mysterious look. Flitting and flying in the trees, he perched on this tree branch for a very short time - just enough to strike a cute pose! This bird loves to catch insects, especially flies - hence the name "Flycatcher". They fall into the tyrant flycatcher family found throughout South America and southern North America and are a striking exception among the generally drab Tyrannidae because of the vermilion-red feathers. The males have bright red crowns, chests, and underparts, with brownish wings and tails. GPS: 4672 33°46'12.612N, 106°53'57.534W.
