Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Mar 24, 2025 08:05 by Theo Patterson
- Bohnett Park, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.7130823&<ll...>,-119.7130823 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S220499719 - Comments: "Continuing. Seen in trees and on telephone wire at the playground end of the park. Silent. Definitely flycatcher shaped with tail dipping. Initially identified as a Black Phoebe, but was confused by the medium gray and pale coloration overall. A slight hint of yellow at the rear confused me even further. Later discussion with Audubon birders led me to correct my ID."
