Jon,
Funny you mention that. I was walking around this weekend here in Waukesha and
heard something similar to what you describe - area was marshy, streamside.
Kind of sounded like "free beer" and reminded me of a willow flycatcher, but as
you say clearer (not buzzy) and maybe slightly up in pitch. I got a short
video with the call right before the calls ceased and never saw the bird.
Doesn't sound like a phoebe or pewee (the latter which I am finally hearing
everywhere now).
Youtube link (short video, sound should be very clear):

If anyone has any thoughts please let me know. Maybe this is similar to what
Jon heard too.
