The first black colored bird is called Phainopepia, look for his species flying alone around Desert Mistletoe plants hanging from trees. In addition to berries they prey on flying insects, especially mosquitoes. The brilliant colored Flycatcher is the Vermillion Flycatcher. It also preys on mosquitoes but prefers larger insects. Bees and grasshoppers are preferred . For more information click “Newsletter” in the Menu of this Gillespiecreek.com website.
