Red Breasted Flycatcher

An uncommon call made me rush to the window. Had to play a bit of hide and seek to finally find what this winter had brought to the garden.


The heap of dead branches we had piled up in a corner seemed to be his favorite place to hang out.

It was a male red breasted fly catcher.

He was frisky at first but I was able to take a photo from the window on the second day.

We were just about getting used to his calls from his favorite corner of the garden ,when he decided it was time to move on.. He stayed with us for 4 -5 days.

Hoping he stops by every year.
