Series 1: Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) 16 July 2014: The summer of 2014 was one where the Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) made a home during its breeding spring and summer season of the trees in and around Avondale Park and Cooper Creek. All summer long we heard its calls in the treetops, always in the treetops, but the bird itself was a mystery and when you finally found it taking its pic was a whole other question. It took patience and careful watching to figure out what worked best and when to get the images we finally did and once we did we were able to IDentify it. Without question this was the great mystery bird of the summer of 2014 in our own backyard bordering on Avondale Park and Cooper Creek and across the broad expanse of the park itself where its calls were commonplace. Young Great Crested Flycatchers were reared and there were still Great Crested Flycatchers by late August of 2014 in our neighborhood and park. Thus we present two short series of photographs. The first series is of photographs taken on July 16, 2014, while the second, posted separately immediately following, were taken on August 24, 2014, and these were the result of having attracted the Great Crested Flycatcher with a bit of water and the promise of a cooling bath at the height of the late summer dry season in the North Texas area while watering a part of our backyard. We shared the water with any number of birds late that summer including Great Crested Flycatcher. Great Crested Flycatcher summers for breeding purposes in the eastern half of the United States including as far west as Texas from its central areas east to the Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana borders and beyond. In winter Great Crested Flycatcher migrates south through South Texas through Mexico where it both flies through on its way farther south and winters as well in the southeastern states hugging the Gulf of Mexico like Veracruz, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, Chiapas and Yucatán and similarly through wide areas of Central America. Its southernmost range is found in Venezuela and Colombia at the northern end of the South American continent. Because it is a bird that flies from the central and eastern provinces of Canada south through the northern end of South America, Great Crested Flycatcher is an authentic resident of the Western Hemisphere. Avondale Park and Cooper Creek are administered by the City of Denton, Texas.
