[Tweeters] Pierce County Black Phoebes

[Christopher Clark]

Good afternoon my fellow birders,

     Today (Dec. 9th) I heard two Black Phoebes (photos of one) at the
Saddle Creek remnant in Fife. They were very vocal. The specific location
is found in my eBird checklist below. This species is nearly annual now, if
not annual, in Pierce County, and I had a hunch there might be at least one
here as they've been found in this spot in years past. It's pretty neat to
see a species' range expanding right before your very eyes!

     If you'd like to chase, please note that this location is in the
middle of a housing development, with limited parking. As such, please be
kind and courteous, and it may be best to visit in the morning/early
afternoon on a weekday. There's usually parking when I go at these times.
Also, the wetlands are hard to view due to trees. It used to be easier to
see the wetlands but not really anymore. Oh well, guess the birds like the
extra privacy!

Enjoy your birding!
