Great Crested Flycatcher

I had never seen a Great Crested Flycatcher until this one flew into a tree in front of my house on May 22nd. What an exciting, delightful event! According to what I've found online, this bird is a tree top dweller that is rarely seen on the ground. I'm grateful that it stayed long enough on this visit to strike different poses as it watched for flying insects. I still occasionally hear its distinctive call; but, so far, it has been high up in trees farther from the house and I've been unable to spot it.
