Description
Vermilion Flycatchers spend long periods sitting on exposed perches such as the tops of shrubs and fence lines. They watch for flying insects, catching them in midair by quick flights (sallies), and often returning to the same perch.
Adult males are brilliant orange-red with a dark brown mask through the eyes and brown back, wings, and tail. Females and immatures are gray-brown with faint streaks on the breast and a salmon-red blush on the underparts. The bill is black.
The vermilion flycatcher's song is a pit pit pit pidddrrrreeedrr, which is variable and important in establishing a territory.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Apr 10/20 in Andalucia, Valle de Cauca, Colombia, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Final processing done with Smart Photo Editor and Photoshop.
