Great Crested Flycatcher
The Great Crested Flycatcher is found throughout eastern and mid-western areas of North America. This species resides mostly in treetops, and rarely is found at ground level. They breed in deciduous and mixed forests in eastern North America. Nests are built inside of tree cavities, using snakeskin or plastic for insulation. In winter months, this species migrates south to Mexico, South America, Florida and Cuba. Diets of the Great Crested Flycatcher consist of fruits and berries, and insects caught mid-flight. This bird is the most widespread species in its genus.
I found this one at Arbuckle Wildlife Management Area in Polk County, Florida.
