This bird definitely was a surprise! While slowing down to cross a railroad track several miles west of my home I noticed a bird fly across the road.
I noticed it had a pale yellow stomach, brown wings and a small rufous colored crest.
I watched and studied him for several minutes as he perched on a tree limb beside the road.
Once I got home I looked at my National Audubon Society Field Guide to Birds and found that the bird I had seen was a Great Crested Flycatcher!
85 more to go!

I have several places in my yard for wildlife to raise their young. I have a Bluebird box and a Downy Woodpecker box in the backyard along with a box for bats to roost in.
On our front door we have an evergreen wreath that House finches have kept a nest in for the past 3 years. It’s always interesting when you leave in the morning and startle the finches who then flush from the nest and scare you half to death!

I’d never been much of a salad person until a few years ago when I took my children to Seaworld in Orlando.
We went to a restaurant on the premises and on a whim I ordered a Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad. It was love at first bite!
So, I’m going to attempt to eat this and many different types of salads over the next thirty days.
