The Eastern Phoebe is a very common bird here in Ontario, especially in more rural areas. Since these birds are not the most colourful of birds, they are often overlooked by many people looking for the more brightly coloured feathery friends. I came across these young Eastern Phoebes one day, during a light rainstorm, and however drab coloured they were….can anyone really ever resist the look of baby birds?
