Observation details

Species recently reported at this location by multiple ebird observers in recent weeks. My second observation of this species here in a few days, a more mature male bird that the previous one I recorded. I first saw it atop a tree going back and forth between branches every minute or two, a good ways out over the pond just before the 90-degree turn, where this bird had been located by others before. I could see the reddish coloration through lens magnification and knew this was the vermilion, though it was not a close look. I played a few Vermilion fc calls and it apparently responded, as it circled around and bounced back and fourth between wires and trees on both sides of me fairly close. I was able to get a few clear photos.
