Spotted
A small, striking flycatcher endemic to the Galapagos Islands, the Galapagos Vermilion Flycatcher is renowned for the male's vibrant red plumage. Females and immatures are duller, exhibiting yellowish or streaked undersides.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Galapagos Islands, primarily found in shrubland, arid scrub, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for males perched conspicuously on low branches or bushes, often sallying out to catch insects. Their bright color makes them relatively easy to spot. Listen for their simple, high-pitched song.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its Galapagos range, but breeding activity might be more pronounced during the wet season (December to May).
