Great Crested Flycatchers are common in summer months in Kentucky, although they tend to winter much farther south. This one was spotted in Florida back in January.
Wikipedia says, "Despite the 'flycatcher' of the bird's name, flies, along with spiders, make up only a small percentage of its diet; it prefers prey such as butterflies, moths, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, and bees and wasps. Comments | Permalink
