Hi all,
Dave Fensore and his daughter Sarah photographed a SAY’S PHOEBE yesterday afternoon and sent me a photo last night for confirmation.
Dave, Carolyn Fensore, Matthew Gilbert, and I are currently viewing the bird sitting contently and foraging in an area of fields of Shaker Village.
We are observing the bird from the quiet and safe side of Shaker Rd (Old Rte 26...note that Shaker Rd leaves the Rte 26 Bypass a short distance south of here), from the crest of the hill immediately south of the historic village.
Please note, the Village is currently closed. There is no parking there or trespassing into the fields. Luckily, there is plenty of roadside parking on a wide shoulder, and all of the fields are easily visible from the roadside, so this should not be an issue. In fact, it cannot be an issue here; we must respect the community.
The bird is moving around the various fence lines, with the temporary white fence through the closest field being one of its favorite haunts.
