Great-crested Flycatcher ?
Yesterday (March 28) I saw this bird (it's greatly cropped for ID help) in a tree in a nearby park. At the same time I heard a talented Mockingbird nearby going through his vast repetoire. I heard (I thought) the "Weep-weep-weep" of the GCF in amongst that medley. Then I saw this bird. Wouldn't turn its head! Had a yellowish wash on the belly. This would be over a month early for any flycatchers to appear here in western NY. What do you think. Sorry the picture is not better.
