Eastern Phoebe
While birdwatching one sunny April morning at the famed Sapsucker Woods at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, I crossed a footbridge on a trail and spied this Eastern Phoebe with a bill full of moss pumping its tail and waiting for me to pass. I quickly snapped a few photos of her before moving down the trail, pausing to watch through my binoculars. When she all was safe and clear, she flew under the bridge I had just walked over and soon came out with an empty bill. In Spring 2018 Northern Woodlands magazine
