Friday Feathers

The Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) lives high up in trees, rarely coming to the ground and is often heard before seen.

It has extra long feathers on top of its head (crest), which the bird raises when alert or agitated. Frequently stuffs its nest with a collection of fur, feathers, string and snakeskins.
