| GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER PROJECT | ||
|
 |
|
| Report from the Spencers, 5/1/07 | ||
|
The Bird Club has a trail of 7 boxes in our Great Crested
Flycatcher trail. These beautiful bug-eating birds are busy
right now building nests. Like other flycatchers
and woodpeckers, this is a cavity nester, and will build in a
box just larger than a bluebird box. Look for a bluebird size
bird with a grayish back, darker large head, long tail and a
beautiful butter yellow breast. The female works hard to
build the nest, while the male follows her, loudly telling her
what to do. His job is to top the finished nest with a shed
snake skin. Then they start the real work of laying eggs and
raising young. |
