Description
On an early morning walk at the end of September, I saw very few birds, but one that didn't disappoint was the Say's Phoebe. This one and some of its friends were flitting around from perch to perch, bringing joy with them.
From Cornel Labs: "Like other phoebes, the Say’s Phoebe is seemingly undaunted by people and often nests on buildings. These open-country birds sally from low perches to snatch insects in midair or pounce on them on the ground. Say’s Phoebes often pump their tails while perched on a wire, fence post, or low bush. They breed farther north than any other flycatcher and are seemingly limited only by the lack of nest sites."
