I have heard the distinct call of the Great Crested Flycatcher for many weeks now… always in the woods and always a little too far away  until the other day…

I was taking a walk one afternoon in my neighborhood and heard his call. Hmm. He didn’t seem too far away, so I waited until I could hear his call closer. And there, on the tree in the woods was the Great Crested Flycatcher. I clicked and clicked away and only got 1 good photograph. Here it is!

Beautiful bird, don’t you think? I hear him all the time in the woods around our home, but rarely does he land on a tree near me.
