I've seen a Great Crested Flycatcher before, but rarely at our feeder area.

While watching hummingbirds this morning, this pretty bird showed up. Never actually came to any feeders, it was content to sit in a nearby tree and just watch.

This is what a bird at rest image is supposed to look like! Wonderful light, composition, color, etc. Fired on all cylinders with this one!

Thanks so much! Love it when a plan comes together.

Beanbag on the upstairs windowsill, the bird landed at that level, morning light from the left, and lots of pixels to play with.

I'm a big believer in taking a LOT of shots, and staying on the bird until it flies off. So I had many backgrounds, poses, and head tilts, etc, to choose from.

Thanks again,

Marshall
