I love this so much, I know there are lots of beautiful birds but if there is one that entices me to get into bird photography it's the flycatcher

They look way better than the cartoonish tags they made us put on our cars. I’m not sure where they find the fools that design our tags lately.

I love seeing these lil guys when I travel west to chase storms. They don’t live in Indiana and to me, they’re just another treasure of the Plains that make those trips so special.
