Hello again everyone, Nobody has reported the Say's phoebe today but I have good news. I just got a call from Keith Burk (the father of the original finder, Jim) and he saw the bird this evening around 6:45. He watched it until a bit past 7:00. There were a couple of other people there who apparently had seen it a bit earlier. I was there briefly twice this morning and near noon and didn't see it but I looked in the field where it was yesterday......not around the house. Keith says that the bird stayed closer to the house than yesterday, flycatching from the tree branches mainly on the south side of the house. Please stay on the road for viewing.
Directions: From Blenheim, go west along highway 3 (Talbot Trail) to Lagoon Rd (at the car wash). Turn left (south) on Lagoon, 0.8 km past Old Street to #19007. It is best to park south of the house, on the east side of this gravel road. Pull way over, as there will probably be lots of farm machinery passing by and pulling into this field. Good luck!
