There are a few spots open for this Sunday’s morning bird walk. Sign up through the link in our bio. We have been getting good looks of the Great Crested Flycatcher as it is nesting close to the museum. #VTBird #BirdWalk #BirdPhotography #GreatCrestedFlycatcher #GoodfriendWithCamera (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6XvtQBuBg/?utm_medium=tumblr

We have netting on all the windows to prevent bird collisions. The last few years the Great created Flycatchers have helped themselves to pieces of the netting for their nests. Great Crested Flycatchers sometimes use shed snake skins in their nests. We are hoping she likes these skins and leaves the netting intact. #GreatCrestedFlycatcher #VTBirds #NestingMaterial #SnakeSkin (at Birds of Vermont Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJdOZoB74W/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Bath Time - Flycatcher Style" by Gary Helm The Great Crested Flycatcher is an aggressive Tyrant Flycatcher, nesting in a variety of woodland and suburban habitats. From exposed perches it searches for insects and vigorously defends its territory against intruders. Most of the Great Crested Flycatcher's diet consists of flying insects, such as beetles, flies, wasps, katydids, and dragonflies, although fruits of the elderberry, wild cherry, and blackberry are eaten by both adults and young. It is the one and only flycatcher that breeds in Florida. The Great Crested Flycatcher is the only eastern flycatcher that nests in holes. An unusual habit is its frequent use of shed snake skins in its nest lining. Whether this is intended to frighten off predators or merely decorate the nest is not known. They spend much of their time perched on treetops and prefer to fly from place to place on the ground rather than walk or hop. I found this one in my backyard during a rare moment on the ground taking a dust (sand) bath. Polk County, Florida. https://flic.kr/p/2jhQ5GT
