Great Crested Flycatcher early morning stretch

This Great Crested Flycatcher has been hanging around for several days now. It was way up in the top of a white oak tree in our front yard having an early morning stretch.

I had recently mowed the grass, and later I saw it searching for insects. It landed briefly on our front porch railing. Really an impressive bird seen up close like that. Of course my readiness and reaction time was not enough to get that shot...
