Found this little guy today, a first for me... from my book it looks like a 'Great Crested Flycatcher', but I could be wrong...(wouldn't be the first time);)

They're sure pretty, & if they 'catch flies' they are most welcome to stay. Blackflies were horrible when I shot these. Thank you Carol!

That's a great find and even better set of captures Cheryl!
My experience with these guys is that they really like the tops of really tall trees so your captures are extra special for that reason. And I'd agree with others that it looks like a Great Crested except for everyone calling it "a little bird".....I don't think I'd consider it that little, but I know perceptions differ. Excellent job!

Thanks Steve! I was shooting an Oriole, on top of a really tall tree... & turned to see this guy on the 'clothes line'... They really aren't that little as you say.
