I'd swear to all ends that I'm hearing a great crested flycatcher around my
home, but don't think they could be here and calling this early.  I've
waited as long as I can to get a look, but its high in pines and i can
never see it.

I'm in the ridge and valley, Washington Co., near Weverton Bluffs - just
before the 340 bridge goes to WV. Typical valley scattered trees / yards
border with S.Mtn. State park (solid forest to the ridge).

Could a GCF be here this early and if not, what might I obviously be
mistaking in call?
