25 | March | 2014 | Texas Tweeties by Bob Zeller

We were out driving through our local parks yesterday. Saw 43 species for a nice day of birding. But what caught our attention in one area was a flash of red across the road in front of the car. We looked to the left and saw a cute little Vermilion Flycatcher, with a grub, on a small branch about 100 feet away. I was able to stop the car, and get my Canon SLR with the Tamron 150-600mm lens into position. These images that follow are heavily cropped to give you a nice closeup of that feisty bird. If you will click on either photo, you will see some beautiful enlargements.
