Great Crested Flycatcher

I love these guys! For the past 2 years we have had several pairs nesting in our yard or close enough so that they hunt in the yard. Every evening they give that distinctive chirp and "breep" call and snap up moths and other insects, along with the berries from our Lantana bush. They frequently get ran off buy the local Mocking Birds, but they still sneak a berry or two. From time to time, you can hear them snapping their beak when they get excited.
