"The Great Crested Flycatcher" - a photo on Flickriver

            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.

In Florida, males begin to settle on their breeding territories in late March or early April. Egg laying takes place during April, May, or June. Great Crested Flycatchers are probably single-brooded. Fall migration is from mid-August to mid-October.

I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
