A few groups did not see the Say's Phoebe yesterday PM. I spent 30 minutes
looking this morning and did NOT see the phoebe or the mockingbird. Tough times
for an insect-eating bird as cold, windy rain persists. I would not be
surprised if the bird is literally hanging out within the sheltered farm
buildings and thus out of view. Or...

Kay Kavanagh reports the bird still present as of 12:45pm on the west side of
the road just north of the farm. Due to a cold rain and wind chills in the low
20s, the bird was fairly inactive and perched low to the ground.

Bird is apparently still present as of 10am in same location. I don't know
anything more than that though.
