Vermilion Flycatcher

I was taking a lunch time stroll 'around the block' last week when I saw my first Vermilion Flycatcher perched on a fence near the high school.

From a distance I thought he was a cardinal, but as I watched him dive bomb for bugs, I knew it wasn't. I got to watch him for a couple of minutes before I finally continued on my way. He was a BRIGHT red. :-)
