How lovely to have the eastern phoebe back in town! He must have arrived on Sunday. He was not singing with the dawn chorus that morning, but about 10 A.M. I heard him.

He sings his name, fee-bee, over and over in a burry voice. He's the first flycatcher to come back every year, and before there are many insects to be caught.
