(1) When perched on shrubs, it often pumps its tail up and down like a phoebe .(2) I'm thinking a phoebe , purple martin, starling fluttering up, a kingbird, I have no idea what's on the lowest wire, a nuthatch and a robin.(3) The phoebe seemed our sole wild bird for the day (feeders are cheaters!) but on the way back to the car, we chanced upon some yellow-bellied beauty of a warbler.(4) A pair of bluebirds and a phoebe dallied across the street, and a hummingbird zipped across the western sky.(5) As April opens its world of promise and the sap rises in the tree, perhaps a phoebe , one of a returning phalanx, will stop to pause there.(6) I saw a couple of snipe fly over, and a phoebe or two hung around the edge of the cattails.(7) A phoebe and a scissor-tail worked the fence, and Barn Swallows perched along the wires or flew overhead.(8) I was sure the cowbird, a female, was targeting the phoebes , and apparently they knew it too.(9) U.S. bird expert John James Audubon marked some brown and yellow birds known as phoebes in 1803 with silver wire.(10) I can hear the songs of migrating birds: phoebes , white-throated sparrows, towhees, catbirds, chipping sparrows.(11) He tied silver cords around the legs of a group of phoebes , and spotted two of the banded nestlings when they returned the next year.(12) Walking around the cemetery yielded a handful of red-wings, phoebes , doves, and Song Sparrows and nice looks at a Field Sparrow and a White-eyed Vireo.(13) It may also be that parental phoebes attempted to dislodge cowbird shells and some were able to do so.(14) I can only assume from the brazen behavior of these phoebes that they were protecting a nest.(15) I assumed that all nest contents that disappeared between subsequent nest visits were removed by adult phoebes attending the nests.(16) Since we've identified plenty of phoebes in the field, I'm inclined to take this bird as a pewee.
