Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes and NC Sue Wordless
I hope you can join in and share your wild birds and nature scenes.
For this week's wild bird I am sharing the Great Crested Flycatcher. It is one of my backyard birds in the summer season.
The flycatcher has a large head and a crest that is not always prominent. This bird also has a bright lemon yellow belly.
This is a back view of the Great Crested Flycatcher, it seemed to be checking out the bird seed on my deck railing.
This image above and the one below were taken at a local park, this young Great Crested Flycatcher was begging for food on the boardwalk.
I hope this enjoyed my images of the Great Crested Flycatcher, it is one of my many favorite backyard birds. I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post and photos. Till next week's wild bird post. Join in and post your birdies and to see more beautiful and wonderful bird and nature photos please visit:

I am sitting at my desk watching a (I think) a Red Breasted Sap Sucker beating up this Hazelnut tree.

I haven't seen one yet this year. It's on my list to find, though. I think they are very pretty flycatchers!
What a cute little birdie ! Never have seen one like this !
A very pretty little bird and it was lovely to see the young one.

Hi Eileen
Love the softness of their coloring. Such a beautiful bird.
Beautiful shots of the flycatcher! I especially like the second one--the background is very nice.
Lovely sequence!...
My God! The last one is so cuuuuuuute!...
Kisses!

Que coisa linda! Deixo um beijo praiano! chica
Such a cute little thing. : )
I like how the edges are blurred on that second shot - framing the bird.
What a beautiful bird!
Hi Eileen, what a darling little bird with gorgeous coloring
and sweet expression. You captured the best shot. Love the last one. He looks like he is saying, "hey watch your step"
Have a nice evening. cm
these are awesome shots! i have some but they're not nearly as good! awesome!
I never think of a fly catcher having that much color. How neat! Hugs!
Such sweet captures!!
Hi Eileen! LOVE this post because you've just identified a bird that I saw late last week for the first time. I knew it was a flycatcher, but had no idea which one. Your photos are great, and I think I may have a new favorite too--Next to the Eastern Phoebe!
Hope your week is off to a good start!
I love the last two shots of the young one!
What a cutie pie of a bird-I want to squeeze it and bring it home!
Such a sweet little bird! Wonderful pictures!
How great to see this beautiful bird in all the stages and poses. Wonderful series.
the images of Great-crested Flycatcher looks very beautiful. Color of it is very pleasant...
Beautiful birds forever friend.
Good wednesday.
Besos.
Love that lemon colour in the chest!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
These birdies very cute and pretty! Have a beautiful day!
Very pretty captures and they remind me that so far this season, I have not seen a single one. Happy Wednesday~
I like it - even though it's NOT red!!!
Such a lovely bird Eileen. And your photos of it are very special. It's a "big head" I don't mind seeing lots of. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet images of a darling little bird Eileen. Have a great day :)
He's very handsome. Great shots!
What a pretty little bird. I love the coloring. I don't think we have those here in East Texas.
Eileen, those are great. Yet another bird I can't recall seeing in the wild.

Dimi...
What a cute bird! I love the lemon color. :-)
Great photo's again Eileen, thank you so much for sharing.
Many thanks too for all your comments on the low carb diabetic blog. It is always great to receive them, and very much appreciated ... thank you.
All the best Jan
You caught that crest beautifully and, like other commenters, I have to say that lemon-yellow belly is just gorgeous! Wonderful post, Eileen. I'm so far behind. Just posted to Saturday's Critters now. Going back to read some of those critter posts now. Better late than never!
A cute little guy. We have barn swallows nesting under our front porch right next to our picnic table where we eat every night. They are so used to us we don't bother them a bit. Fun to watch all the developments. - Margy
How do you get these??? Tom The Backroads Traveller
He is a cutie, great tail.

They are a pretty cute little bird and I just love the begging in the middle of the walkway. Lovely captures.
A very attractive looking bird.
A beautiful bird, and the fledgling is so cute.
Fine pictures of the little bird, so enjoyable!
ohhhh, what a sweet little thing! so perfectly color-coordinated to the background in your first few photos!
looking good are we? Such a gorgeous one. I love your images :) Thanks for sharing.
Such a pretty bird. I could look for them all day.
The Great-Crested Flycatcher is a beautiful little bird. Great captures Eileen!
Wonderful series, Eileen! And it just goes to show that great minds and all that - my own post had the same species as a first image! A small note on this bird's name: it's a fairly large flycatcher with a not-that-large crest. Therefore, its name is not hyphenated and is "Great Crested Flycatcher". (I wrote it with a hyphen for years.)
Sorry to have been absent for a bit. Life stuff gets in the way of blogging sometimes.
Hello Eileen,
What a wonderful pictures.
Great that first shot of this beautiful bird. Well done!!
Many greetings,
Marco
So sweet!!!
Awww...sweet baby bird begging.. This is not a bird I have seen nor know much about so I am happy to learn and to see your photos Eileen.. Michelle
Beautiful flycatcher, Eileen! I can't completely stay away...I had a finish today with my sewing that left me exhausted, so after a rest I thought I'd sit at the computer a few minutes. Wonderful post, as always. I just hate getting so far behind! :-)
What an adorable little flycatcher!!! If I had a worm - I would have fed him!!! Great shots!!
