Contopus cooperi
A distinctive large flycatcher of the boreal and western coniferous forests, the Olive-sided Flycatcher gives its "quick-three-beers" song from the tops of tall snags. It makes dashing flights from its high perch to catch flying insects, then returns to the same perch. (Cornell)
Large tree along river in alder & willow thicket.
Would sally out every now and then to grab a insect than go back to its perch and preen for a while.
