Sh*t Birders Say

This morning, Sam, Jack, and I traveled to the country club in Dewitt, Arkansas to see this little flycatcher. The Vermillion Flycatcher is an occasional visitor to Arkansas. Twice now, Sam and I have seen one in this general area, the other time being near the Stuttgart airport.
Lenore Gifford has this Black-chinned visitor this week. She appears to be a female Black-chinned Hummingbird. The picture doesn’t show the best diagnostic, the tail and wings, but the bill is obviously long and curved. Even though I got no picture of them the tail extended just barely past the wings, if the bird were a Ruby-throat the tail would have extended further.
