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.

Yesterday morning at Sapsucker Woods, the starlings were doing kingbird and 
wood duck and meadowlark (among others, no doubt).
Meanwhile, there was legitimate singing from chickadee, titmouse, cardinal: 
sounded and felt like spring!

At 8:30 this morning in the Arts Quad at Cornell, heard an EASTERN PHOEBE sing 
one phrase of song. A few minutes later heard KILLDEER calls, but possible that 
these were from a nearby starling that was calling intermittently.

As much as I keep telling myself we may see some winter yet...
