Vermillion Flycatcher – Art Print on Wood
This listing is for a limited edition, fine art print of my original painting of a Vermillion Flycatcher called “Everything’s Gonna Be Ok.”
This vermillion flycatcher is a reassuring little fellow. Having a hard day? Just rest your eyes on his extra colorful feathers and breathe a little deeper. The print is mounted on wood and ready to hang. Bird in a Box subscribers – this is the bird for June 2015.
About the bird:
From our friends at Audubon:
Most flycatchers are drab, but the male Vermilion Flycatcher is a brilliant exception. It is usually seen perched fairly low in open areas near water, dipping the tail gently like a phoebe. As if the male’s bright colors were not advertisement enough, he also displays by puffing up his feathers and fluttering high in the air while singing repeatedly. Fairly common in parts of the southwest, the Vermilion Flycatcher is also widespread in Central and South America.
Nesting
Male performs flight-song display above territory: fluffing out body and head feathers and rising high in air (up to 50′ or more) in peculiar fluttering flight while singing rapidly and repeatedly, then swooping back down to perch. Nest: Female builds nest in horizontal fork of tree, usually 6-20′ above ground, rarely up to 50′ or more. Nest is a compact cup of twigs, grass, weeds, often held together with spider webs and decorated with lichens. Nest lining is of finer plant materials, hair, and feathers.
