This Vermilion Flycatcher is the one that started it all for me as far as my interest in birds. When we moved to SE Arizona I noticed this brilliant colored bird that hung out in our yard. I was on a mission to find out what he was, in the process I started noticing that not all little brown birds were sparrows and not all little grey birds were finch. To date I have photographed over 60 variety of birds just in my back yard. I call this guy daddy flycatcher because he has a mate (mommy flycatcher) and this past summer they brought a fledgling to the yard and used our bugs to teach it to hunt. Daddy is the one that did all of the teaching and it was the neatest thing to witness as baby went from face planting to do doing all of the same fancy dives daddy did.I am so grateful to this bird for opening my eyes to the beauty that surrounds me
