Title: Backyard GC Flycatcher and Cardinal
Post by: JW Mills on June 07, 2010, 09:34:09 PM

Both these birds visited my yard last week.
 
Great Crested Flycatcher, a first for me.

A rather scruffy looking Cardinal.

Great catch Zed in spite of the harsh lighting condition. The cardinal looks exhausted to me. Cheers

I was hearing GCFL all last week from my yard in the upper Beach.  What's your location?

Thanks guys!
Denis, you are correct, a fair pic is better than no pic at all!
David, my place backs onto Smythe Park, Jane south of Eglinton.
