What Is It?




An unfamiliar bird was on our deck yesterday, just on time for Wild Bird Wednesday.  





It spread out its feathers and wriggled around as if it were taking a dust bath.

(I haven't dusted out there for a while, but it can't be that bad!)

It was even kind enough to pivot all the way around, 

so my birding friends wouldn't have any trouble identifying it.




Can you help us out?



Linking with (you guessed it)


Well, you weighed in, and it's unanimous; the bird is a Great Crested Flycatcher.
Thank you all so much!
