Hi all!!

 Hope everyone is staying safe and warm these past
several days.

A very unusual guest showed up in the backyard late
this afternoon. I was watching a small opening in the
Muskingum River for Waterfowl when an Eastern Phoebe
flew into the backyard only to land on one of my
trellis.  It really broke my heart to watch it wait
patiently for some sort of meal when all that could be
found flying were snowflakes.. I was able to get a
poor photo of it with a blurred background of river
ice caps, if you care to see the photo, the address is

I am curious if this is just an early arrival or
possibly one that attempted to overwinter, any
thoughts would be appreciated..

Thank you,



  Amy Lavy
