Hi - While walking out to the car this morning to leave for work, I heard the onomatopoeic call of an Eastern Phoebe. I eventually located the bird in a fruiting tree (perhaps a cultivated hawthorn) in our complex, located on the southwestern edge of Holland. This is a first-of-season sighting for me (and, I think, a new state bird for my checklist - just moved here from Indiana two months ago, so most everything's new).
