Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus)
A report went out yesterday on the local birding grapevine about this youngster being sighted by the south entrance to Everglades National Park, My dear friend Jill alerted me to this morsel, and after breakfast we proceeded to try and see if we could have a peak at this jewel, It is from what I understand a rare occurrence for the VFC to come this far south on the State, but there he was, and after a little searching Jill was able to locate him, Then the fun began, He is sort of skittish and without the advantage of a blind , Jill proceeded to slowly bring him close to were I was perched, It took some doing and he flew across the Canal a couple of times, but knowing that he was a creature of habit, Jill waited until he got back to the fence he favors as a perch, without harassing the bird and walking towards him ever so slowly I was able to a get a few shots, No ideal perches but for me it was a challenge and a treat as well, a bird I have been lusting after for a while, I know he is a first year juvenile, and he doesn't have his full colors, but to me he looks wonderful!!!! Without my dear friend Jill, this would have been impossible!! D1x, Raw, Lens=400mm afs-f/2.8 + 2X, FL=800mm, Incident metering-lol, 1/1000sec SS-f/5.6 EV=0, ISO=200, WB=Auto, Flash in [FP] Mode!!
