Several local birders in Tucson, Arizona, posted information on this leucistic Vermilion Flycatcher at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson. I hurried over there, and found it easily. It was just at the entrance, doing the typical flycatcher swoops and dips. It was not at all skittish or shy, and seemed to enjoy the attention it was getting! I took this photo with Canon 40D, 300mm f/4L IS +1.4x.
