We set up close to the nest box on the trail. People would go by and make comments. One lady asked what did we take pictures of.
I said it was a Great-crested Flycatcher. The lady commented; oh it is a Great Plastic Flycatcher. Every time I say it loud we chuckle.
Thanks for looking.

Great image, Karl.  I might suggest reducing the yellows in the BG to bring the bird out as but more.

This is a beautiful image. The BG and the colour on the bird are complimenting each other perfectly.
