Description: Vermilion Flycatcher Pyrocephalus obscurus male at nest, Himmel Park, Tucson, Arizona. With such a gaudy plumage, it's too risky for the male Vermilion Flycatcher to share in the duty of incubating the eggs, which is left to the better-camouflaged female. But once they hatch he does his share of provisioning the nestlings.
