 | I’m a summertime visitor to your Florida backyard. Look for me in the springtime, when I’m quite vocal as I mate. Then I tend to disappear as I take care of my babies and hunt for my insects. If you put out a bluebird house, I might choose to nest in it. Most Likely Found: In the treetops, In your backyard When: Year-Round Where I've photographed: Bok Tower, Circle B Bar Reserve, Gatorland Rookery, Joe Overstreet Road Read more: Great Crested Flycatcher at Cornell Lab of Ornithology |

May 22, 2011 - Great Blue Heron We checked on the Great Crested Flycatcher nest by the Nature Center. A very tolerant flycatcher let us get pretty close to him as he brought food in to his babies. It's a shame that there's not a window on the side of the nesting box!... Read more
April 15, 2011 - ...I spent a quiet off-Friday morning at the Circle B Bar Reserve this morning. It’s always a treat to be on the trails without the weekend crowds.
