Yet to have an Eastern Phoebe here this year,  but got to watch a Northern
Mockingbird do a pretty good imitation this morning.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe

2018-04-18 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
I observed one of the Phoebes, recently returned at the Burns Road Reservoir, 
yesterday feeding very close to the inlet river water. It would perch on 
flotsam and apparently pick bugs off the water surface. I think they get very 
creative in these marginal conditions.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe

2018-04-18 Thread Dave Nutter
Over the past couple weeks of cold since Phoebes arrived I have seen them often 
dropping to the ground like Eastern Bluebirds for more sedentary prey. I also 
recently watched a Phoebe eat several Poison Ivy berries. Phoebes’ adaptability 
lets them survive despite the shortage of aerial food.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe, Arts Quad

2016-02-02 Thread Karen Steffy
I wonder if there has been a Phoebe hanging around Cornell all winter?  I 
thought that I saw one in early December at Beebe Lake.  I wasn’t 100% sure, 
however, because it was backlit on a grey day, and all I could get was the tail 
bobbing as it kept flying farther away from me.  And, of course, I didn’t have 
binoculars with me.  A week or so later, I ran into someone who had also seen a 
Phoebe near the small footbridge (I think) on Beebe Lake.  (Hopefully, he’s on 
the list and can add his experience.)

Well, it's possible. The singer of the phoebe song was pretty physically 
distant from the starlings I saw and heard, and wasn't accompanied by any other 
bird vocalizations. And the song itself was completely convincing to me, for 
what it's worth.

I'll keep my ears open tomorrow and try to track it down if I hear it.

Meanwhile, there was legitimate singing from chickadee, titmouse, cardinal: 
sounded and felt like spring!
