Phoebes arrived this morning. This little flycatcher has a distinctive call that sounds just like their name: “Phoebe” over and over again. And their small tails bob up and down.

Usually the phoebes arrive before the hummingbirds and Orioles; they were late this year, arriving almost two weeks after the hummingbirds.

The magical vocalist of the forest, the Wood Thrush also arrived 5/16/2023.

The “Forest Songsters” are now all present and singing. Chickadees, Cardinals, TitMice, Orioles, Phoebes, Wood Thrush, and let us not forget the amazing Frog Chorus, that jingles through the night:)

Happy spring, happy everything, from the forest,

Sanford, MI
