Great Crested Flycatcher at Greenbury Point

I started at Possum Point this morning, and took a few sunrise pics. Nothing really spectacular.

I moved on to the Nature Center in hopes of finding some birds, and I found a few willing to pose well. I also found a few insects, and I’m hoping for some good butterflies later this month.

My Go Pro camera arrived today, and I’ll be posting some videos when I get it figured out.

Tree Swallows in flight are tough to get, but this one was flying in a regular pattern, so I got a couple of decent images.

Greenbury Point is a reliable spot for Goldfinches.

Cornell: “A large, assertive flycatcher with rich reddish-brown accents and a lemon-yellow belly, the Great Crested Flycatcher is a common bird of Eastern woodlands. Its habit of hunting high in the canopy means it’s not particularly conspicuous—until you learn its very distinctive call, an emphatic rising whistle. These flycatchers swoop after flying insects and may crash into foliage in pursuit of leaf-crawling prey. They are the only Eastern flycatchers that nest in cavities, and this means they sometimes make use of nest boxes.”
