The Eastern Phoebe (sayornis phoebe) is so named because of its call: “fee-bee”. That call is one of the first harbingers of spring in their breeding range, as it is one of the earliest birds to migrate. It tends to nest near water, for the abundance of insects. It is a Flycatcher.
The male defends its territory, which may include two nests, by singing, especially early in the morning.
Family: Tyrant Flycatchers
