The excitement of discovery is what draws us to wander. Our travels have taken us to the far corners of our home state of Texas as well as the diversity of the fascinating states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Florida and Massachusetts.
Join us here as we share some of the special moments we have encountered through our photos and essays.

Vermilion Flycatcher

Vermilion Flycatcher

Pyrocephalus rubinus

The male has a brilliant scarlet crown and underparts with a dark brown back, wings and tail. The vermilion Flycatcher is hard to detect in cottonwoods, willows, or mesquite since it hunts from the highest canopy and generally remains well concealed.
In sparsely vegetated areas it may decend to the ground in search of insects.
