Hello again,
-- Apparently not everyone could open my photos on CObirds. I'm posting the link to my eBird list. It has several photos of the Eastern Phoebe.

Most mornings in October, we've been catching the few birds we have in one or two runs, as a flock of mostly White-crowned Sparrows moves through. Usually those runs are first thing in the morning, but today it was mid-morning, just in time for a group of high schoolers, and included all of the following:Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1Chipping Sparrow 1Lincoln's Sparrow 1White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 3Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 3And then, in the follow-up run, Charlie Chase brought back a bird in a bag and said to me, "This is really weird, but I have no idea what this bird is." (I'm thinking, if Charlie doesn't know, what are the chances any of the rest of us will......) We then greatly enjoyed one of the occasional thrills of fall banding - catching a rarish species (actually, the first one caught in 35 years at Barr) in somewhat unusual hatch year plumage, that leads to a fascinating struggle to find the right ID! We got to flycatcher right away, but were totally waylaid by the amount of and brightness of the yellow on the breast. Susan Rosine will be posting shortly a few photos of this really gorgeous Eastern Phoebe.
