Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) I went out for Clapper Rails one morning, a couple of weeks ago, and drew a big zero. I was leaving the area when I spyed this little gem from the side of the road. He was pretty cooperative, but the fates were conspiring against me; heavy overcast skies, having to shoot from the window, as he would fly off when I tried to get out, forced to shoot with the 2X teleconverter to get a decent subject size in the viewfinder, did I mention 10-15mph breeze. I just sat and waited with my face glued to the back of the camera and took what I could every time the wind would calm for a second or two. I got lucky on a few. Since I have nil on this species, I wasn't about to pass up the chance. This is a 40% crop for web posting. All comments welcome.
