Thanks for the help!  I am now positive that I saw (& heard) a GREAT-CRESTED
FLYCATCHER.  I had to make sure as this is the first one I've gotten a good
look at, and the first one I've seen by myself.  I saw it on Monday
afternoon, April 15th at my mom's house out by the "soon to be" Beaman state
park.

I also had a YELLOW WARBLER in the yard for the first time this afternoon.
He was gleening insects from the leaves and bathing in the water (from my
sprinkler) on the leaves of a small tree.  Pretty good for an urban
neighborhood!

Here you go. This bird is so distinctive it would be hard to confuse it
with anything else. Personally I describe the sound as "cree-up." Just
respond, "Who ya' callin' a creep?" and you'll always rember the call.
