Great crested flycatcher

The great crested flycatcher is common in our local woods from March to October. It’s typically perched high in the trees watching for bugs to eat. It has a distinctive rising call that sounds like WHEEP! This one was spotted during an Audubon bird walk at Tuscawilla Park.
