Eastern Phoebe

Sayornis phoebe

Description:

Gray-brown above with a white throat, dirty gray breast and yellowish underparts which (become whiter during the season). Lack of both an eye ring and wing bars, and an all dark bill distinguish it from other American flycatchers. It pumps its tail up and down like other phoebes.

Habitat:

Sitting in the Hackberry tree after dipping in the pool for an afternoon bath.
