Vermilion Flycatcher @ Bluff Lake Nature Center (Denver Co)

[Patrick O'Driscoll]

Just seen in brushy meadow along Sand Creek at least 200-300 yards upstream from lake area, roughly north of prairie dog town, flycatching from dead snags and back- and- forthing to creek. Appears to be a first-year male (“variable,” says Sibley), very bright red breast, white throat, black eye but no red on head yet. Seen by Patrick O’Driscoll and Maggie Brahm.
