We haven’t seen an Eastern Phoebe since we moved to Cape Cod six years ago until… one flew onto the fence right in front of our car by the river the other morning.
My motto has always been, “Don’t leave home without your camera!” Well, I left home without my camera and here was my first Eastern Phoebe. So, I took this photograph with my iPhone. I’ve gone back several times with my camera but to no avail… he keeps hiding in the trees, probably to spite me and my forgetting my camera!
I looked for a “phoebe” quote and got this from Phoebe Buffay of Friends: 🙂
“On her name: “Phoebe: That’s ‘p’ as in ‘Phoebe,’ ‘h’ as in ‘heobe,’ ‘o’ as in ‘oebe,’ ‘e’ as in ‘ebe,’ ‘b’ as in ‘bebe’ and ‘e’ as in ’ello there, mate.’ ”
