Great-Crested Flycatcher

At least 2 weeks have passed since I was surprised by the return of the familiar Great-Crested Flycatcher 'weep!' from down the street. Since then it has been very vocal from dawn until mid-afternoon. Problem is, it is hard to get a look at since the trees are getting leafy again.

I was trying to get a shot of the Indigo Bunting this morning but heard the flycatcher getting closer. So I waited. Though in shadow, I got my first Great-Crested Flycatcher shot of the year.



Now the mate should return and hopefully they will raise another brood here as they have over the past couple of years.
