Brasher - this was a surprise bird for us today. It remained atop a dead tree flycatching for over 20 minutes, lifting off briefly then returning usually to the same branch. It called periodically. I love the call 'quick three beers' :) Look it up if you have never heard it. At one point a Phoebe came along and flew at it but it warded it off. Later likely an Alder flew at it and it similarly rebuffed the attack.
