We have had a family of these guys visiting for the past three springs. An attractive bird and rather large, 9 inches long, they are insect feeders (95% and 5% fruit/berries) usually catching their food on the wing.
They are very accommodating at being photographed. It’s as if they are posing. The following photo was taken yesterday.
This bird was previously known as “Southern Crested Flycatcher” and it’s common name is “Freight bird”.
Dear Grandfather,
I am greatly enjoying this blog! If you have any pictures of dogs and/or helicopters, these are my favorite things at the moment.
Love,
