Male Vermilion Flycatcher — Image by kenne
A feathered ember in a desert landscape, the male Vermilion Flycatcher is exactly what its name says:
a brilliant red bird that hawks flying insects from conspicuous perches on shrub tops and fences.
Though they barely reach the southwestern U.S., this species is common all the way through
Central America and much of South America. Source: CornellLab: All About Birds
Adult Male Eastern Bluebird — Photo-Artistry by kenne
The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture.
The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight.
Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast.
Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance.
