Subject: Re: red bird at zion


it was by the visitor center. the reason i was
confused is because i 
live in southern CA and these birds are hard to see,
yet i saw 2 red 
birds in succession and the 1st looked like a
vermillion flycather (it 
was more compact and smaller, head seemed squarer) and
the 2nd looked a 
bit bigger but nearly the same color. and both had
wings that were darker.

i did not get a picture. the 1st (flycatcher) i saw
with binoculars, the 
2nd came (a few minutes later) and perched about 15'
away and flew.
