This is my post for Friday Ark and Camera Critters
I had a short time to do some birding in Bermuda, our port of call during our 5 day cruise this past week. Bermuda birds are pretty much the same birds I see here in Maryland. One exception was the Great Kiskadee.
The Great Kiskadee was seen all over the island
This Great Kiskadee was nearby while we were waiting for our turn to tour the Crystal Caves.
He/She was not a shy bird and did not seem to mind posing for me.
The Kiskadee a large tyrant flycatcher was one of the most common birds I saw during my day and a half stay in Bermuda. The Great Kiskadee has a black head with a strong white eyestripe. The Black Bill is short and thick.
I hope you enjoy my Great Kiskadee and to see more wonderful and cute critters make sure you visit the Friday Ark and Misty Dawn's Camera Critters. Thanks to host of Friday Ark and to Misty Dawn for hosting these fun animal memes. Also, thanks for stopping by to see my post. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

That kiskadee is a really cool-looking bird! Like a flycatcher with a woodpecker head thrown on top. Great shots!
Striking bird and lucky you-a trip to Bermuda. That header photo is gorgeous--pull that back out around January 12-lol!!!

Bermuda holds many birds, and you shot the Great Kiskadee, pretty things. The third is my favourite.
How nice to see birds in far away places!
And the header photo---stunning!
We have the kiskadees here in South Texas. They are the most common bird I see/hear around here too.
Great photos!
Great shots, so vivid and close. I loved Bermuda but only spent one afternoon there.
This is new to me, you have got me interested in these winged creatures.
Thanks for sharing the sights and sounds! I haven't seen one either.
I may of mentioned I dropped my camera but would like to hear any thoughts you might have on any? Well, enjoy your weekend Eileen-
Wonderful close ups of the Kiskadee Eileen and it looks like a young bird from that remains of a yellow gape. Bermuda - I hope you enjoyed your trip, it's a place I'd like to see sometime.
Beautiful bird shots, but it's better my cats don't see this post, lol!
Nice pics and an interesting post.
Aren't they pretty? We see 'em along our river. Love their coloration.
My C C Link Hope you have a great weekend. BTW...thanks for visiting.
good close ups
They're very cute birds. I like the first shot of your photo.
Your bird photos are beautiful! It is a pleasure to look through your eyes.

Hi Eileen, Beautiiful beach, cute and interesting birds. I am sooo jealous! Wonderful post. Have a great day!

Thanks!

Fabulous photos. Thank you for sharing them.
I love the little yellow fellow :)
he has such a cocky stance
What a beauty!
My entry, hope you can visit and see.
that bird looks like somebody put the wrong bill on its body- very interesting.
They are pretty birds. Great shots.
Cool shots, Eileen, cool bird!
Gorgeous bird! Love the header! It's supposed to be really hot here next week, perhaps we should all be heading to the beach.
Good photos of Great Kiskadee.
Regards!
