I tried for the Say's Phoebe that was reported yesterday in Ferrisburgh (see 
Ian Worley's posting from yesterday for directions). I arrived there at 7:20 
a.m. this morning. There was about 6 inches of snow but the road all the way 
to the gate was plowed. I waited for a bit and at 7:42 a.m., the Say's Phoebe 
popped up and flew toward the barn. It perched on a woven wire mesh fence 
that is connected to the barn. It then went down into a thicket for several 
minutes and popped up on a steel pipe rail, that is connected to 6x6 wooden 
posts. That rail terminates against the barn wall. The Phoebe was on the rail 
facing the barn wall and kept flying up and against the wall presumably 
grabbing bugs or flys or spiders etc. It kept landing in the same spot that it 
was taking off from (as many flycatchers do). I was able to get great looks at 
this beauty for several minutes. I hope that it will stay for others to see it. 

Good luck if you go,

Jim Mead
