Years ago, our family took a special trip out to Lytle Ranch- about 1 hour from our home to see if we could spot a Vermillion Flycatcher. Sure enough, we saw a pair. It was so exciting.
Now we have a pair that have moved into the tree behind our house and have a nest there. They forage in our lawn. This is so exciting for Ken. We know that they have laid eggs and the eggs have hatched. It has been so fun for Ken to watch them and observe their habits. Only once has Ken seen the male sit on the nest. But he defends it with his life. If another bird comes near, he goes on the attack, regardless of it's size. He is fierce. How we hope the babies will grow up and stay around here. This is a dream come true for Ken.
