You live in Florida, and you have Ash-throated but not Great Crested!?

I have three observations of a Great-crested Flycatcher from last September and October, but it's one of my ten non-photo lifers; in fact, I've never seen one.  The second observation was frustrating, as I was very close to one, but the dense foliage made it impossible to get any visuals.  I got good audio to post for my initial lifer observation and heard the unmistakable call on two other occasions.

The only reason why I have an Ash-throated Flycatcher is that I when a bird on my county needs alert also shows up on my county rare bird alert, I generally chase it, as long as it isn't more than a half hour away.  The Ash-throated met the criteria and I found it.

I have both in Florida but definitely got Great Crested first. Ash throated are pretty rare. But, that said stranger things have happened.

It's birds like this that get me saying "Oh I've got a ton of pics", check eBird "No I don't".  "But I've seen a ton"....no I haven't, I've heard a ton, but not always seen.
