Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) - Bracketville, TX
This 1st year male was found at Kikapoo Cavern State Park in Texas Hill Country. I adore their beautiful colouring and they are my favourite flycatcher. Here I was lucky enough to see 2 endangered birds, the Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo. I got covered in Deer Ticks here and 3 actually bit me and embedded in the skin but it was worth it... well as long as I don't get Lyme disease...
