great crested flycatcher

Great Crested Flycatcher. So many around

Other than eastern phoebes, most flycatchers are fairly uncommon down in south Florida, so it's always a pleasure to see any of them

This was taken at the Okaloacochee Slough State Forest, east of Fort Myers.

Yep! Here you are. All that light through the foliage is turning your plumage a bit extra yellow and green, but you're still recognizably grey-and-white aside from your brilliant yellow belly.

I finally found the trail out to Couturie Forest, near the far end of City Park (which is immense :eek!:). Walked about 5 miles all in all. Got a blister under one foot from grit in my sandals. Totally worn out from the heat, even with only half the distance I'd walked fairly handily back in...

This Flycatcher was a real poser. This one shows his frontal colors well. He flew around from perch to perch feeding just above ground level instead of high up in the nearby trees. I had a hard time deciding which photos to upload because I was able to get several good shots.

At least he looked to me like he was laughing

There were a couple of these out seeking dinner.

Spending some time with the family at Disney World, and getting a little birding in as well! This Great Crested Flycatcher was hanging out in the treetops at Epcot Center.

This guy was setting in the evening sun calling, "Threeep". This bird is a bit smaller than normal, not a juvenile, just smaller that what I usually see.

Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) . Sexes similar. Astin Recreational Area, Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, USA. Along the dam of Country Club Lake. Marshy edges of lake at ca. 91 m (300 ft) elevation.

There were three juveniles stationed in different areas of our yard. The mama would fly from chick to chick feeding them whatever she caught along the way. It was very late in the day and overcast.

Posing nicely for me

Nice to see these guys again.
