“The Say’s Phoebe’s voice echoes off the rocks of almost any dry canyon west of the Rockies.
A small brown flycatcher with an orange belly, the Say’s Phoebe is named for Thomas Say, an early 19th Century explorer and naturalist. It prefers dry, open habitats ranging from tundra to desert — usually well away from trees or water. It’s just as happy nesting among stone carvings in an Aztec ruin in central Mexico as it is on a cliff face north of the Arctic Circle. No other North American flycatcher ranges nearly so far north.” ~Michael Stein~
Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the Say's Phoebe. I enjoyed learning about this bird; 365 has done so quite a bit for me.
