Hi again, folks:

Thanks to David S who reminded me to document this sighting, as it is really early for Peewees. And since I do not yet have Iphone reflexes, I forgot to get some kind of photo of this bird (who, a few weeks hence, will have dozens of compadres in the same area).

So I went back this morning prepared to photo AND possibly record, and found that I must have mistaken an Eastern Phoebe for my familiar WEWP: in my defense, she really does have a smudgy vest, and--probably due to being alarmed--had a cresty crappa; and furthermore, the tail dipping was not due to her precarious perch but her species habit.

But the nice thing about getting this settled is that now I've got a breeding pair of Eastern Phoebes at this location, because the female was flirting around with a nicely classic male this morning.

NOW I'll remember to document proof of breeding over the next months...

Linda
