New Year’s Visitor

This pretty little guy lives near here and likes to perch on the antenna of the Honda while he waits for a snack to fly past. He has never stayed around long enough for me to put on my telephoto lens and get a photo of him. This time I parked the car on the other side of the RV and that seemed to do the trick. I took a couple of shots through the window screen and then gently slid the screen open. He looked at me but did not fly away. He patiently hung around for several shots and then, as I was thinking about getting even closer, he left. I don’t know what kind of bird he is but with his colours, I doubt if he has any trouble attracting the ladies!

Edit: Tammy just commented that he is a Vermilion Flycatcher (pyrocephalus rubinus) and is quite common around Mexico and Central America. Thanks Tammy!
