In Burnett's Mill (behind Obici Hospital), I had Great Crested flycatchers show up on Sat., 4-21.
They usually nest here but we lost their tree last year, so I am looking up nestbox specs right now!

Let me know how you make out. I know they will use a nest box when natural cavities are not available. We have lost so many trees here at Town Point that the GCFL I see now are just passing thru. Maybe I should put up some boxes!
It's nice to keep a record like that so you can compare year to year.
