[nysbirds-l] Fishing phoebe in East Hampton

Three of us observed the fishing phoebe again working the little pools at the Georgica Cove Hollow inlet again yesterday afternoon. There was at least one successful catch, and one photo of a non/fish (probably some sort of larva), although sadly no further photos of the bird eating fish.
