The male Vermilion may be changing its habits. At first it was not to be found at the pump station, then it showed up on the fence close to the main road for a moment, it flew up the the wire, and just as quickly disappeared. There was no sign of the female. A very fun morning, worthy of an Evil Twin/Stillwater/Stone The Perfect Crime Black Smoked Saison.
