Observation details
Nice surprise! Flew in from the east at 12:30 p.m. and landed atop one of the two small willows along the central dyke. The Say's Phoebe stayed and started flycatching for a few minutes before a Cooper's Hawk swooped in and the bird went NE and was not relocated. Medium-sized flycatcher with overall pale grey-brown plumage, rufous belly, long black tail and translucent pale grey primaries in flight. Observed from south dyke so photos are distant but still show some of the details needed for identification.
