This morning, while surveying my back yard where I have a bird feeder, an Eastern phoebe flew into our garden and landed on the tip of a garden stake. Less than 10 feet from me, it bobbed its tail a few times while I observed it with my binoculars, then it flew off.
According to eBird, this is a very unusual sighting in Tompkins County in January.
