I'm seeing very few phoebes lately. During this past (three-day for me) weekend when I was out birding almost every daylight hour, in prime areas where they are usually ubiquitous, I saw and heard a grand total of one. May be just a statistical oddity that few happen to be in W. Bloomington right now... or are others noticing this as well? I recall seeing and hearing them as I do yearly, even in our yard, in late March and early April this year, during one of the few nice days. As we were then blasted by wave after wave of April snows, I began worrying that this was going to be a very tough stretch for them (and the bluebirds, which also seem less numerous around here).
