Birds I've Seen in my Yard - Say's Phoebe

This is the bird that prompted my interest in birding. I had a little Say's Phoebe who would perch in my backyard just a few inches off the ground, and he came back every afternoon shortly after I moved to Arizona -- that would have been in May 2005.

I just had to figure out what he was, and my friend and co-worker Nancy helped me to identify him. He stayed for a couple weeks and moved on, but he came back every year. Now we've moved to a new house, and I'm a little sad not to get to see him anymore.
