Vermilion flycatcher (IMAGE)
Caption
Vermilion flycatchers are found throughout the southwestern U.S. and well into South America. Flamboyant red feathers are only found on the males of this species, serving as a sexual signal for their gray and brown female conspecifics. Additionally, these males sing, dance, and even give gifts in order to catch the attention of mates. As suggested by their name, these small yet flashy birds feed on a variety of flying insects.
