Black Phoebe Jesperson Dyke

[Chris]

Ben Pap spotted a Black Phoebe just west of the Jesperson Dyke parking area. I was able to see it on the west end of the barn from the dyke. There was also a Shrike near the pond just east of the parking area.

Nice sighting Ben!

I seem to recall a record of one a few years ago also on the Christmas Bird Count.

Nice one guys! That was quite the start to your morning.

I was in town today and went for a quick frosty walk. It is still there sitting on the exhaust vent at the west end of the barn out of the wind. Probably about 100m down the west dyke at the end of Jesperson past the small hedging cedars that are growing up to the dyke. I feel a bit bad for it as these are not good conditions for it.
