Say's Phoebe Sayornis saya - Common on the plains in the vicinity of ranch buildings, bluffs, and cliffs; prefers dry sunny locations more than other phoebes. From the front it is recognized by the rusty belly and undertail coverts, from behind by the contrast between the pale back and the black tail, which it frequently wags. Say's song is a slurred chu-weer (30-40/min) and pippety-chee. Call, a single descending whistle. Return |
