Great-crested flycatcher

Description:

This bird dwells mostly in the treetops and rarely is found on the ground. All adults are brownish on the upper parts with yellow under parts; they have a long rusty brown tail and a bushy crest. Their throat and breast are grey. Their breeding habitat is deciduous or mixed forests across eastern North America. They nest in a cavity in a tree. Usually a snake skin is included in the lining of the nest, but sometimes a plastic wrapper is substituted. They wait on a high perch and fly out to catch insects in flight. Sometimes they may be seen hovering to pick food off of vegetation, buildings, and even windows. They also eat fruits and berries.
