Hello,

On Thursday, yesterday, in the morning I saw a puzzling bird, in Strawberry Fields. It was about the size of an American robin, with two or three wing bards. The abdomen was greenish yellow but the head was very reminiscent of a fly catcher. It flew from the ground, to a tree, then to another tree and away. Any suggestions?

Happy bird watching,
Arthur Pinewood :hi:

Great crested flycatcher?

Great-crested Flycatcher was my thought as well.

Thank you, KC and Jeff,

The great crested flycatcher fits the bill and is a life bird and a welcome bird in the summer doldrums.
