Hi

While visiting my 103 year old father-in-law at Clermont Park retirement digs, there was a Say’s Phoebe working under the eaves for ___?

Of interest the Say’s Phoebe was first discovered for Science on the 1820 Steven Long Expedition while the expedition was in an area that is know Pueblo Reservoir, the phoebe was discovered along Turkey Creek. The new phoebe was named in honor of Thomas Say, a naturalist, who was on the Expedition.
