Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus)

Of the dozens of amazing birds we saw in the Galapagos, most were endemics. This little beauty is pretty common throughout Central and South America - it's even fairly common in parts of the US. I had never seen it before; it was one of the most exciting birds of the trip for me! This one was working from a dead limb right at eye level, and he let me get quite close.
