Things to Come

Hopefully the Greater Crested Flycatchers will nest again in the wood lot at our summer place this year. It was exciting to spend a couple day’s with them last summer…fingers crossed I can locate a nest cavity.
The Greater Crested from what I understand is the only one of the flycatchers that nest in a tree cavity…their coloration and appearance is similar to the Western King Bird.

Something I had been putting off for some time was to clean up some of the deadfall in the back bush at our summer place in Gimli. The afternoon turned out well as I stumbled across a nest site of a Greater Crested Flycatcher … needless to say that was the end to cleaning up the deadfall.
