August 9, 2022: Great Crested Flycatcher


Great Crested Flycatchers are residents of Eastern woodlands.  At Ada Hayden HP, the bluff area is a common location for this flycatcher.  They are usually heard before being sighted.  Of all the eastern flycatchers, this species is the only one to nest in cavities.  They commonly interweave snakeskins into their nests.  Even though they are flycatchers, they also eat a fair amount of fruit. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 5/13/22)
